# Platforms Supported by libwww

This list gives an overview of the platforms where the W3C Reference Library is known (or belived) to compile. Thanks a lot to the big group of creative contributors for the long list of hints, patches and additions to the make files and system dependent code! If you have any problems or questions then send a mail to libwww@w3.org or to the www-lib@w3.org mailing list. We also keep an archive of the mailing list so that more easily can get up to speed.

Platform Specific Notes
Platform | OS | Version | Note
--- | --- | --- | ---
Unix | Any supported by GNU autoconf | - | Build the library using GNU Autoconf's configure script. Note: You must use GNU make in order to do this
Windows | Windows 95 and Windows NT | - | See the special notes for building on Windows
Macintosh | MacOS | - | Not tested! Uses Code Warrior from Metrowerks and GUSI socket library
VAX | VMS | - | Not Tested! Independent Distribution

Disclaimer: Libwww has been designed to be both portable and flexible based on ANSI C and the POSIX standard. However, there are still platforms that do not conform to any of these standards. Even though autoconf is often capable of getting around such problems it may not always be the case. In this situation we are happy to accept patches but do not intend to actively maintain such platforms.
