12 <li><b>Bacula</b> has been compiled and run on Linux, FreeBSD,
13 and Solaris systems.</li>
14 <li>It requires GNU C++ version 2.95 or higher to compile. You can try
15 with other compilers and older versions, but you are on your
16 own. We have successfully compiled and used Bacula on
17 RH8.0/RH9/RHEL 3.0 with GCC 3.2. Note, in general GNU C++ is a
18 separate package (e.g. RPM) from GNU C, so you need them both
19 loaded. On RedHat systems, the C++ compiler is part of the
20 <b>gcc-c++</b> rpm package. </li>
21 <li>There are certain third party packages that Bacula needs.
22 Except for MySQL and PostgreSQL, they can all be found in the
23 <b>depkgs</b> and <b>depkgs1</b> releases.</li>
24 <li>If you want to build the Win32 binaries, you should know
25 that they are cross-compiled on a Linux machine. For
26 more information, please see the src/win32/README.mingw32
27 file in the source distribution.
28 Although we document it, we do not support building the
29 Win32 binaries. Only the Win32 File daemon is officially
30 supported, though the other daemons are available in the
32 <li><b>Bacula</b> requires a good implementation of pthreads to work.
33 This is not the case on some of the BSD systems.</li>
34 <li>The source code has been written with portability in mind and is
35 mostly POSIX compatible. Thus porting to any POSIX compatible
36 operating system should be relatively easy.</li>
37 <li>The GNOME Console program is developed and tested under GNOME 2.x.
39 <li>The wxWidgets Console program is developed and tested with the
40 latest stable version of <a
41 href="http://www.wxwidgets.org/">wxWidgets</a> (2.6). It
42 works fine with the Windows and GTK+-2.x version of wxWidgets,
43 and should also works on other platforms supported by
45 <li>The Tray Monitor program is developed for GTK+-2.x. It needs
46 Gnome >=2.2, KDE >=3.1 or any window manager supporting the
47 <a href="http://www.freedesktop.org/Standards/systemtray-spec">
48 FreeDesktop system tray standard</a>.</li>
49 <li>If you want to enable command line editing and history, you will
50 need to have /usr/include/termcap.h and either the termcap or the
51 ncurses library loaded (libtermcap-devel or ncurses-devel).</li>
