The only Unix operating system that has been tested and is known to

work is 32bit Ubuntu Linux 8.04.

OpenMW has been tested for the most part on 32bit Ubuntu Linux

8.04. It should, however, also work on most other 32bit

FreeBSD works partially, but you have to recompile most of the
|
|
|
|
|
dependencies as well. There is a bug in the compiler however, that
|
|
|
|
|
breaks exceptions. So if anything goes wrong you probably will not get
|
|
|
|
|
any sensible error message.
|
|
|
|
|
FreeBSD is also known to work with recent versions of GDC (the D
|
|
|
|
|
compiler), but you might need to rebuild most of the dependencies from
|
|
|
|
|
source yourself.
