The Drizzle developers compile on Mac OS X, Linux (many different flavors), and on Solaris x86 and SPARC. Windows is not supported and will stay that way until it gets a working POSIX layer and autoconf system. This makes the Windows platform reasonable to support. Really, get a working GNU chain going on Windows and you can get Drizzle working on it. Installing Strawberry Perl handles a lot of this. Drizzle relies on a C99-compliant compiler. Please do not ask us to support older hardware, compilers, or operating systems.
