Supported Platforms
BSL has been built and tested on the Linux distributions/versions listed below. In some cases, special steps are required to build on a particular distribution or version; in those cases, they are noted along with that entry. Except where noted, BSL was built using the distribution's standard toolchain (compiler, linker, C++ standard library, etc.).
All distributions support 32-bit x86 and 64-bit x86_64:
- Debian 5.0.10
- Debian 6.0.5
- Fedora 17
-
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11.4
- Note: openSUSE 11.4 should also support BSL since it is nearly identical to SLES 11.4.
-
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12.2
- Note: openSUSE 12.2 should also support BSL since it is nearly identical to SLES 12.2.
-
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.8
- Note: CentOS 5.8 and Oracle Linux 5.8 should also support BSL since they are nearly identical to RHEL 5.8.
- Note: RHEL 5.8 includes Python 2.4.x, which is not compatible with the build system that BSL uses. Python 2.6 can be installed from the EPEL repository to solve this problem.
-
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.3
- Note: CentOS 6.3 and Oracle Linux 6.3 should also support BSL since they are nearly identical to RHEL 6.3.
- Ubuntu 10.04.4
- Ubuntu 12.04.1
BSL has been built and tested on various versions of Microsoft Windows. BSL requires Visual Studio 2010 or Visual Studio Express for C++ 2010. BSL supports both 32-bit x86 and 64-bit x86_64 operating systems, however Visual Studio Express has only been tested for 32-bit x86 builds.
- Microsoft Windows XP with Service Pack 2 or later
- Microsoft Windows Vista
- Microsoft Windows 7
- Microsoft Windows Server 2003
- Microsoft Windows Server 2008
BSL has been built and tested on a number of Unix and Unix-derived platforms.
-
Apple Mac OS X 10.6 64-bit x86_64 with Xcode 4.4, 10.8 64-bit x64_64 with Xcode 4.5
-
FreeBSD 8.3 and 9.0
-
Solaris 10 (SunOS 5.10) on 64-bit SPARC with either Sun Studio 12 or GCC 4.3.x
-
IBM AIX 6.1 64-bit POWER with IBM XL C++ 10.1
