+ Supported Platforms
+ -------------------
+
+ Apache's src/Configure script currently has only limited built-in knowledge
+ on how to compile DSO files because (as already mentioned) this is heavily
+ platform-dependent. Nevertheless all major Unix platforms are supported.
The
+ definitive current state (April 1998) is this:
+
+ Out-of-the-box supported platforms:
+ (actually tested versions in parenthesis)
+
+ o FreeBSD (2.1.5, 2.2.5, 2.2.6)
+ o Linux (Debian/1.3.1, RedHat/4.2)
+ o Solaris (2.4, 2.5.1, 2.6)
+ o SunOS (4.1.3)
+ o OSF1 (4.0)
+ o IRIX (6.2)
+ o HP/UX (10.20)
+ o UnixWare (2.01, 2.1.2)
+ o SINIX (?)
+ o SVR4 (-)
+
+ Explicitly unsupported platforms:
+
+ o Ultrix: There is no dlopen-style interface under this platform.
+
+ o AIX: Under AIX 3.x there is no dlopen-style interface and under AIX 4.2
+ although there is one the linker (ld) is such braindead that it is a
+ horrible mess to get the DSO mechanism working.
