1. Requirements and supported platforms
|

--------------------------------------
|
||||
|

wxBase can be compiled and used under Win32, mostly any modern Unix system
|
||||
(probably including Mac OS X but it wasn't tested there), VMS and BeOS (this
|
||||
release couldn't be tested under these platforms neither so you might

these platforms so you might encounter some problems but they should be easy

to solve -- please contact us in this case!)
|
||||
|
||||
It is written without using any modern C++ features (such as templates,
|
||||
exceptions, namespaces) for maximal portability and so you shouldn't have
|
||||
problems compiling it with any C++ compiler at all. However, we only provide
|

the project files for Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 for Win32 (any contributions
|

are welcome!) - but our Unix makefiles will work with any compiler.
