If you don't understand, then you probably shouldn't be here!

Source Code

Some packages may require one or more of the following

Unix (Including Mac OS X)

• An ANSI C Compiler
  • GCC 2.7 or newer (2.95 or newer prefered)
  • Most recent (mid-late 1990s and newer) Unix C compilers should work
• GNU Make or compatible
• GNU Bison and Flex
• PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor
• Apache HTTPD
• See README or INSTALL of the individual package for more

Windows

• An ANSI C Compiler
  • Microsoft Visual C/C++ 5.0 or newer prefered
  • Minimalist GNU Win32 with GCC 2.8 or newer
  • Not Cygnus GNU Win32 (CYGWin32), Unix emulation will severly hinder performance
  • One of the many other ANSI compilers may work. (LCC, Turbo C, etc)
• GNU Bison and Flex
• PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor
• Apache HTTPD
• See README.txt or INSTALL.txt of the individual package for more

Macintosh (OS 9.x or older; OS X see Unix)

• A lot of luck
• Tenon MachTen (Mach +BSD Unix)
• GCC 2.7 or newer (2.95 prefered)
• GNU Make or compatible
• GNU Bison and Flex
• Tenon WebTen (Apache + PHP)
• See README.txt or INSTALL.txt of the individual package for more

Binaries

Make sure you get the correct file. Even then it may not work on your system. You'll probably be better off building from the source code unless you have no other choice. If it doesn't work, then don't complain and just try another.
