Platform Support
Following is a list of operating systems and architectures supported by tcc. The table indicates the status of support for each combination using the following harvey balls:
● Supported
◐ Present but untested. If you're interested, come and help out!
○ Known broken
Non-applicable (i.e. no OS support) or unimplemented (i.e. the OS will run, but TenDRA has no code for that combination)
| 680x0 | alpha | mips | ppc601 | 80x86 | hppa | power | sparc | |
| SunOS | ◐ | ◐ | ||||||
| DragonFlyBSD | ◐ | |||||||
| FreeBSD 2 | ● | |||||||
| Linux 1 | ● | |||||||
| NetBSD 4 | ● | |||||||
| OpenBSD 3 | ● | |||||||
| Solaris | ● | ◐ | ||||||
| OSF1 | ◐ | |||||||
| IRIX | ◐ | |||||||
| ULTRIX | ◐ | |||||||
| AIX | ◐ | ◐ | ||||||
| HP-UX | ◐ |
For the following versions:
- GNU/Linux (kernel 2.6)
- FreeBSD 6.3
- OpenBSD 4.2 and newer
- NetBSD 3.1 (Newer versions don't work yet)
ELF is the only supported binary format. While some installers offer a.out, it is not tested and very likely to be broken.
