Mnemonic on Linux

Linux on Intel
Mnemonic has been verified to compile and run on the following Linux distributions on Intel machines (of course, Mnemonic is not distribution dependent, but these distributions have the required versions of glibc, egcs and a whole lot of other tools):

  • RedHat 6.0 with egcs upgraded to version 1.1.2 or gcc 2.95 or later, and libtool upgraded to (at least) 1.3.2.
  • Debian unstable. The current stable release, Debian 2.1 (slink), is not based on glibc-2.1 but on the older glibc-2.0 which is not enough for Mnemonic. The upcoming release 2.2 (potato) will be based on glibc-2.1.

Let us know if you manage to compile it on a clean distribution of another vendor.

Linux on DEC Alpha
We only test occasionally on alpha machines, which are not based on any particular distribution. Nevertheless, as long as you have glibc-2.1 you are probably fine. That means:

  • RedHat 6.0 is ok.
  • As is the the upcoming Debian 2.2 (potato).

Let us know if you tried (successfully or not) to compile Mnemonic on an alpha machine.

Mnemonic on other Unix platforms

Mnemonic has been developed and tested on Linux machines. Most, if not all, parts should compile with only minor changes on most other modern Unix systems (as long as the toolkits we use, eg. Gtk--, have been ported). At the moment, we lack the time to actually do this ourselves. If you want need help in porting, contact disc@mnemonic.org

Mnemonic on Windows, Macintosh, OS/2, BeOS, ...

There are currently no members on the team using Windows, Macintosh, OS/2 or BeOS machines, so if you want a port to one of those systems you will have to do it yourself.
