 Hello,

 please have a look at http://www.lpthe.jussieu.fr/~zeitlin/wxWindows/daily/
which contains the results of daily automatic rebuilds of wxWindows for
several platforms. Sun, FreeBSD, Linux, HP-UX and AIX seem to work fine
most of the time - as this page uses the current sources in the cvs server,
sometimes the things do break, but you will notice from "Last snapshot" column
that they get fixed quite quickly. And, at any rate, the upcoming 2.2 release
of wxWindows will surely build on all of these platforms without any tweaking.

 There is one problem inherent to SGI: the native make doesn't support VPATH
(and never will according to SGI docs) while wxWindows makefiles require it,
so you must install GNU make. Except for this, however, there should be no
problems - if there are any, please contact us at
wxwin-developers at wx.dent.med.uni-muenchen.de. Unfortunately, we have less
resources than Tcl/Tk folks and I couldn't buy a dedicated SGI box for wxWin
testing yet <1.5 grin> so we can only rely on people having access to them to
send us bug reports.

 Regards,
VZ
