Diff for "SupportedPlatforms"

Sage is fully supported on the following platforms:

• Linux on x86

• Linux on x86-64, i.e. AMD's Athlon 64 & Opteron CPUs and Intel's CPUs with EMT64 extension

• Linux on IA64
• Linux on PPC (32 bit only)
• MacOSX 10.4 and 10.5 on PPC (32 bit only)
• MacOSX 10.4 and 10.5 on Intel (32 bit only)
• Solaris 10 on Sparc 32 bit.
• VMWare via a 32 bit Linux image (we support a specific preconfigured image meant for use in Windows).

"Supported" means all doctests pass. If not, please report the problem to the Google group sage-devel or sage-support. You can also report problems in the IRC channel #sage-devel on freenode.

The following platforms are feasible in the short term and depend mostly on somebody who is willing to do the job. If you intend to work on a specific port, please let the Sage people know. ard)

• Solaris 10 on Sparc 64 bit (work will start on this once the 32 bit port works)
• Solaris 10 on x86 32 bit,
• Open Solaris 64-bit (we no intension of making a 32-bit port).
• BSD support on x86, x86-64: most likely FreeBSD

• Windows/MSVC 32 & 64 bit: monumental undertaking, estimate: 1-2 man years, but we are receiving funding to do the port

• Windows/Cygwin: this port was dropped due to numerous problems after the 2.5.0 release, but will be resurrected as a stepping stone in the MSVC port

The status of various ports can be followed in the following places:

• the Solaris port can be followed at The Solaris port page.

• the Windows ports can be followed at The Windows port page.

• the FreeBSD port can be followed at The FreeBSD port page.

• the AIX 64 bit port is in the early stages - it can be followed at The AIX 64 bit port page

• the Linux ppc64 port can be followed at The Linux PPC64 port page

• the Linux Mips64 port can be followed at The SiCortex port page.

• the 64 bit MacIntel port is ongoing, but needs some more work
