1.2. Supported Platforms

This version of Wing IDE is available for Microsoft Windows, Linux, Mac OS X (with X11 Server), and some other operating systems where customers compile the product from source code.

Microsoft Windows

Wing IDE supports Windows 2000, XP, 2003 Server, Vista, and Windows 7. Windows 95, 98, and ME are not supported and will not work. Windows NT4 is not supported but may work with IE5+ installed.

Linux/Intel

Wing IDE runs on Linux versions with glibc2.2 or later (e.g. Ubuntu 6+, RedHat 7.1+, Mandrake 8.0+, SUSE 7.1+, and Debian 3.0+).

On Suse, you may need to install the gmp and python packages, or install Python from source, since Python is not installed by default here.

Mac OS X

Wing IDE runs on Mac OS X 10.3.9+. Wing IDE for OS X also requires an X11 Server and Window Manager. For details see OS X Quick Start Guide.

Only Python 2.2 and later are supported for Mac OS X. OS X 10.3 and later come with a standard version of Python already installed.

Other Platforms

Wing IDE can be compiled from source by customers wishing to use it on other operating systems (such as Linux PPC, Free BSD, or Solaris). This requires a non-disclosure agreement.

Some contributed builds of Wing IDE for other operating systems may be available from time to time.
