porting

[diddek]

Hi everyone

(It's been a while)

I have just a little question:

"on what platforms does Ice run"

I know it works on Windows, but how about Linux or more exotic ones?

For instance mobile platforms like:
symbian
palm
(embedded linux)

Or higher up: As400 or Itanium (to pick a few ....)

If it does not run on those, how difficult would it be to either port it or to create a client yourself (for instance, soap is language independent, so if I have a c++ server I could implement a java client (or whatever))

I'd really love to use Ice on those (instead of ... ACE)

Thanks in advance.

For a list of officially supported platforms, please see:

I also tested Ice myself on AMD64 with 64-bit Linux. I'm sure Ice will work with many other platforms as well, either right out of the box, or with some minor modifications.

We do not support PalmOS or WindowsCE yet, but it's on our todo list.

I installed Ice-1.5.1 on FreeBSD 5.3Beta1 last days. It's work OK.
Before installing Ice-1.5.1, you must install follow package:
1) make-3.80 from gnu.
2) expat-1.95.8
3) db-4.2.52

if you don't install make-3.80, it's fail when you compile Ice.
