This list gives an overview of the platforms where the W3C Reference Library, the HTTP Server, and the Line Mode Browser are known to compile. The Server and Line Mode Browser are both available in precompiled binaries from out destribution archives for all the platforms marked binary=YES.

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!

NOTE If your platform is not mentioned below then have a look at how to port the source code to your platform. You can also have a look at the YAHOO overview of operating systems.

The platforms marked with a "*" are known to compile the latest version of the source code - sorry but we don't have the other platforms in house! Therefor the latter might be slightly out of synchronization with the current versions. VMS has it's own distribution.

If you have any additional information on other platforms, or problems on the ones listed, please contact libwww@w3.org
