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)
• 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 might 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.

• Linux PPC 64 bit [planning, hardware access available]
• MacOSX on PPC 64 bit [wait for next os x release, i.e. Leopard]
• MacOSX on Intel 64 bit [wait for next os x release, i.e. Leopard]
• Solaris 9 on Sparc 32 bit [ongoing, getting close, mabshoff is working on this]
• Solaris 9 on Sparc 64 bit [work will start on this once the 32 bit port works]
• Solaris 10 on Sparc 32 bit [ongoing, getting close, mabshoff is working on this]
• Solaris 10 on Sparc 64 bit [work will start on this once the 32 bit port works]
• Solaris 10 on x86 32 bit, Opteron/EMT64 32 bit [ongoing, getting close, mabshoff is working on this]
• Solaris 10 on Opteron/EMT64 64 bit [work will start on this once the 32 bit port works]

Wanted/wishlist:

• AIX 64 bit [access to hardware missing]

• Windows/MSVC 32 & 64 bit [monumental undertaking, estimate: 1-2 man years]

It used to be supported on:

• Windows/Cygwin - this port was dropped due to numerous problems after the 2.5.0 release
