Porting Status

The ROOT system consists of about 500,000 lines of code (390,000 lines C++ and 92,000 lines C). The C language is used in CINT and in pieces of public domain code that perform specific functions like, terminal I/O handling (Getline), data compression (Zip) and the 3D interactive interface to X/Windows (X3D).

ROOT is currently running on the following platforms:

• Intel x86 Linux (g++, egcs and KAI/KCC)
• Intel Itanium Linux (g++)
• HP HP-UX 10.x (HP CC and aCC, egcs1.1 C++ compilers)
• IBM AIX 4.1 (xlc compiler and egcs1.1)
• Sun Solaris for SPARC (SUN C++ compiler and egcs)
• Sun Solaris for x86 (SUN C++ compiler)
• Compaq Alpha OSF1 (egcs1.1 and DEC/CXX)
• Compaq Alpha Linux (egcs1.1)
• SGI Irix (egcs1.1 , KAI/KCC and SGI C++ compiler)
• Windows NT and Windows95 (Visual C++ compiler)
• Mac MkLinux and Linux PPC (g++)
• Hitachi HI-UX (egcs)
• LynxOS
• MacOS (CodeWarrior, no graphics)

ROOT can be compiled without problems by the GNU g++ compiler on most Unix platforms.
