Where does Berkeley DB run?



PBerkeley DB requires only underlying POSIX 1003.1 system calls and can be portedIeasily to new architectures by adding stub routines to connect the native>system interfaces to the Berkeley DB POSIX-style system calls.

NBerkeley DB will autoconfigure and run on almost any modern UNIX platform, and‚even on most historical UNIX platforms. See Building for UNIX platforms for more information.

MIn addition, the Berkeley DB distribution includes support for Windows/95 and3Windows/NT, via the MSVC 4 and 5 applications. SeeLBuilding for Windows platforms for more information.

FPorts to Windows 3.1 and Digital Equipment Corp.'s VMS environment arePincluded in the Berkeley DB distribution, but are less well-tested at this time.
