><P
> A platform (that is, a CPU architecture and operating system combination)
is considered supported by the <SPAN
CLASS="PRODUCTNAME"
>PostgreSQL</SPAN
> development
community if the code contains provisions to work on that platform and
it has recently been verified to build and pass its regression tests
on that platform. Currently, most testing of platform compatibility
is done automatically by test machines in the
<A
HREF="https://buildfarm.postgresql.org/"
TARGET="_top"
>PostgreSQL Build Farm</A
>.
If you are interested in using <SPAN
CLASS="PRODUCTNAME"
>PostgreSQL</SPAN
> on a platform
that is not represented in the build farm, but on which the code works
or can be made to work, you are strongly encouraged to set up a build
farm member machine so that continued compatibility can be assured.
</P
><P
> In general, <SPAN
CLASS="PRODUCTNAME"
>PostgreSQL</SPAN
> can be expected to work on
these CPU architectures: x86, x86_64, IA64, PowerPC,
PowerPC 64, S/390, S/390x, Sparc, Sparc 64, Alpha, ARM, MIPS, MIPSEL, M68K,
and PA-RISC. Code support exists for M32R, NS32K, and VAX, but these
architectures are not known to have been tested recently. It is often
possible to build on an unsupported CPU type by configuring with
<TT
CLASS="OPTION"
>--disable-spinlocks</TT
>, but performance will be poor.
</P
><P
> <SPAN
CLASS="PRODUCTNAME"
>PostgreSQL</SPAN
> can be expected to work on these operating
systems: Linux (all recent distributions), Windows (Win2000 SP4 and later),
FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, Mac OS X, AIX, HP/UX, IRIX, Solaris, Tru64 Unix,
and UnixWare. Other Unix-like systems may also work but are not currently
being tested. In most cases, all CPU architectures supported by
a given operating system will work. Look in
the <A
HREF="installation-platform-notes.html"
>Section 15.7</A
> below to see if
there is information
specific to your operating system, particularly if using an older system.
</P
><P
> If you have installation problems on a platform that is known
to be supported according to recent build farm results, please report
it to <CODE
CLASS="EMAIL"
><<A
HREF="mailto:pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org"
>pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org</A
>></CODE
>. If you are interested
in porting <SPAN
CLASS="PRODUCTNAME"
>PostgreSQL</SPAN
> to a new platform,
<CODE
CLASS="EMAIL"
><<A
HREF="mailto:pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org"
>pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org</A
>></CODE
> is the appropriate place
to discuss that.
