2.5 Supported Platforms

Nana has been tested on the following platforms:

  1. i386-unknown-linux, gcc-2.7.0, gdb-4.16
  2. sparc-sun-sunos4.1.4, gcc-2.7.2.f.1, gdb-4.16
  3. sparc-sun-solaris2.3, gcc-2.7.2, gdb-4.16
  4. alpha-dec-osf3.2, gcc-2.7.2, gdb-4.16
  5. mips-sgi-irix5.3, gcc-2.7.0, gdb-4.16
  6. powerpc-ibm-aix3.2.5, gcc-2.6.3, gdb-4.16

The ‘alpha-dec-osf3.2’, ‘mips-sgi-irix5.3’ and ‘powerpc-ibm-aix3.2.5’ implementations have problems when you compile with ‘-O2’ or ‘-O3’ optimisation. This causes some errors in the the debugger based assertion and logging code since variables can be removed or changed by optimisation. At ‘-O’ everything passes. Regardless of optimisation the C based checking code passes all tests on these platforms.

If you use nana on a new platform please send the report file to me via the ‘make check-mail’ command. A machine generated list of this information is available at:
