architectures

ROOT can be build on the following combination of CPU's, operating systems and compilers:

• aixgcc for AIX >= 5.x with gcc >= 4.8
• freebsd7 for FreeBSD 7.x with gcc >= 4.8
• linux for i386 Linux with gcc >= 4.8
• linuxarm for ARM Linux with gcc >= 4.8
• linuxppcgcc for PPC Linux with gcc >= 4.8
• linuxppc64gcc for PPC 64 Linux with gcc >= 4.8
• linuxx8664gcc for x86-64 Linux with gcc >= 4.8
• linuxx8664icc for x86-64 Linux with Intel icc >= 13
• linuxx8664k1omicc for x86-64 Linux for Intel MIC with Intel icc >= 13
• linuxx32gcc for x32 Linux ABI with gcc >= 4.8
• macosx for MacOS X >= 10.8 with clang
• macosxicc for MacOS X >= 10.8 with Intel icc >= 13 (Intel only)
• macosx64 for MacOS X >= 10.8 with gcc >= 4.8 64 bit mode
• openbsd for OpenBSD >= 5.x with gcc >= 4.8
• win32gcc for Win32 with cygwin/gcc with gcc >= 4.8
• win64gcc for Win64 with cygwin/gcc with gcc >= 4.8

The words in bold are the architecture names used by the ./configure script. The default architecture for a platform is auto-detected by ./configure, but alternative architectures can be specified using one of the above architecture names.
