Supported Platforms
The following table lists the platform on which wpkg was successfully compiled and ran. Note that we only support Windows 32 and 64 bit, Ubuntu 64 bit, and Darwin 32 bit, all Intel based processors.
| Operating System | Processors Tested | Compilers | Supported |
|---|---|---|---|
| Microsoft Windows | Intel 32 and 64 bit | cl from Visual Studio C++ or Console NMake | Yes |
| Ubuntu Linux | Intel 64 bit | g++ | Yes |
| Darwin | Intel 32 bit | g++ | Yes |
| MinGW | Intel 32 bit | cross-compiler g++ | |
| Cygwin | Intel 64 bit | g++ | |
| SunOS | Intel 64 bit | g++ | |
| FreeBSD | Intel 64 bit1 | Compiled g++ 4.8 | |
| Fedora | Intel 64 bit | g++ |
- 1. Note that by default FreeBSD comes with a version of g++ which is too old to compile wpkg. To make it work you need to recompile the newer version of gcc from the ports with the following commands:
cd /usr/ports/lang/gcc48 && make install clean
Note that requires you having an amount of free disk space that is large enough to support all the dependencies. When you do so with a clean system, you should have at least 20Gb of disk.
