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]
- 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 port can be followed in the following places:
- the Solaris port can be followed at [:solaris:The Solaris port page].
- the Windows ports can be followed at [:windows:The Windows port page].
- the FreeBSD port can be followed at [:freebsd:The FreeBSD port page].
Wanted/wishlist:
- AIX 64 bit [access to hardware missing]
