Difference "Supported Platforms and Compilers" ver. 1 versus ver. 2

Content:

### Goals

CppCMS aims to be compatible with any reasonably moders POSIX compatible OS and be build with any reasonable modern compiler.

CppCMS aims to be compatible with any reasonably modern POSIX compatible OS and be build with any reasonable modern compiler.

### Compilers Support

The code is build and tested under following compilers:

- GNU Compiler Collection 3.4, 4.1, 4.2

- GNU Compiler Collection 4.3 should work however not tested recently.

### Operating System Support

CppCMS runs on Linux 2.6, FreeBSD, Open Solaris and Windows/Cygwin.

Any other reasonably modern UNIX like system should be supported as well.

### Tested platforms:

- Linux 2.6.18 x86 and x86_64 are primary testing and development platform. Compiler GCC 4.1

- Cygwin<a href="#note1">1</a> using GCC 3.4

- FreeBSD 7.1<a href="#note1">1</a> using GCC 4.2

- OpenSolaris 2008.5 using GCC 3.4 _(in progress)_.

### Windows

Windows only is supported via Cygwin POSIX compatibility layer.

At some point it _may be_ partially supported

via MinGW if there would be volonteers that would maintain this platform.

via MinGW if there would be volunteers that would maintain this platform.

_Rationale_: Windows is too non-standard platform to support it. It is too developer unfriendly to put an effort in it.

---------------

1. These platforms lacks of POSIX process shared mutex support. Thus:

- Prefork cache module uses fcntl for serialization that may hurt the performance.

- Prefork compatibility mode of files bases session storage is disabled (nfs may be used).
