Software

Version 1.8.2 of PIL was tested with following compilers :

on Solaris 8 :

  Sunsoft cc C compiler version 5.0, 5.1, 6.x (aka Forte 6)
  Sunsoft CC C++ compiler version 5.0, 5.1, 6.x (aka Forte 6)
  Sunsoft f90 compiler version 5.0, 5.1, 6.x (aka Forte 6)

on Linux kernel version 2.2/2.4 :

  gcc/g++ C/C++ compiler version 2.7.*, 2.8.*, 2.95.2, 3.0.*
  Fujitsu Fortran 95 Express Version 1.0 (now Lahey ver 5+)

PIL library may be compilable with other compilers, however the PIL development team have access to only those aforementioned. Not all combinations of C/C++ and F90 compilers were tested.

Active development and debugging is done on Solaris with some work also on Linux.

Besides compilers, one needs the following system utilities :

  gnu make (ver. 3.79.1) (Sun's /usr/ccs/bin/make does _NOT_ work)
  gzip
  tar (or gtar but renamed to tar)
