System/Environment Status Notes
FreeBSD OK Gambas 1.x and 2.x are part of the official FreeBSD ports.
Gambas 3 now compiles. Tested on FreeBSD 64 bits.
OpenBSD OK Gambas 3 > 3.11.4 compiles. gambas3-devel on amd64 has issues.
Mac OS X / PowerPC Bad Gambas should compile. Anyway, it will crash because of bugs in endianness management. I need an ssh access to a PowerPC computer to fix that!
NetBSD OK Gambas 3 > 3.11.4 compiles. gambas3-devel on amd64 has issues.
Solaris Unknown Gambas now compiles on this system but may not work. I'm waiting for news from users.
Haiku Unknown Work in progress...
Windows™ OK Gambas 3.9.1 and later compile and run on Cygwin. gb.inotify and gb.v4l do not compile.

If you succeeded in compiling and/or running Gambas on your system, or if you have problems, write to the mailing-list. I will add any information I receive in the previous table.
