currently:

  • win xp, vista, 7, 8, 8.1
  • centos x86

working on:

  • mainly debian and ubuntu x64 and x86, and some others
  • osx

osx-build hardware/software requirements already finalized:

  • iMac since 5th Generation (August 2007)
  • MacBook since 2008 (>= 13" Unibody model) or early 2009 (>= 13" model)
  • MacBook Pro since 7th Generation June 2009 (>= 13" model) or 3rd Generation June 2007 (>= 15" model)
  • MacBook Air since end of 2008
  • MacMini since 3rd Generation March 2009
  • MacPro since January 2008
  • XServer since spring 2009

those requirements results of the fact that it will be build for osx 10.9 (which has the same hardware requirements as 10.8 which is listed above).
Builds for older hardware / osx less than 10.8 won't be offered in the next time but maybe in the midterm future. Users with 10.6.8 or above can migrate to 10.9 for free.
OSX build will be x64 only.

windows requirements:

  • xp home/professional service pack 3 with full patches (no earlier version is supported)
  • all above, x86 and x64

linux requirements:

  • centOS 6.5 x86 is our primary test system and developement machine.
  • other linux distros might work or not. More distros will be targeted soon (see above)

General requirements all OS:

  • dpi optimized for 100% (96 DPI) and almost optimized for 125% (120 DPI). Higher DPI will result in a less functional gui, a lower DPI than 96 should be possible.
  • older laptop is enough to handle the program at any time
  • ram requirements will be choosen at a later time

    set up mac osx mavericks 10.9
    -> basic developement environment established
    -> currently working on the first successfull build (console and basic gui without html views as for now)

    new status should be reached within 24 hours

    osx compilation succeeded with some restrictions (beyond the known linux build restrictions) that needed to be fixed before releasing. Also, the linking has not suceeded yet, but we are working on that tomorrow.
    Generally, the osx build is targeted to have the same restrictions as the linux build (not more) as of 0.61. When time comes to improve the linux build we will improve the osx build accordingly.

    basic console build suceeded now (with linking) and can be executed properly. Still two bugs in sourcecode which prevent the osx core to work as it should. Working on this as well as working on the gui build.

    osx build (console) almost working as expected. One more buggy thing now.
    osx GUI build will be targeted soon.

    We have set up more linux machines, so we have now centos, fedora, ubuntu, debian, mint, openSuse, all in x64 and additionally some in x86.

    We are currently finishing the developement environment set up on all those machines. If everything goes well, then we will have with 0.62 ongoing a good bandwidth of supported OS.
    OSX will be available with 0.62 as well (maybe earlier).

    successfull gui build on fedora 20 (x64). It also contains the (in centos 6.5 x86 still missing) html-view parts (home tab, transaction tab, wallet tab).

    Working on eliminating some restrictions in the core program for general linux and osx builds (e.g. they do not check for updates or news yet).

    still working on the restrictions primarily as of this ticket. More OS than stated above won't be released with launch day.

    see (the now closed ticket) https://sourceforge.net/p/exocoin/tickets/53/
    for latest status regarding subpoints of this topic.

    further eliminated some restrictions in core. e.g. Linux and apple gui builds will now query and show news from developers on first page and update status.

    osx console build seems to work flawlessly now. targeting the gui build soon.
