Re: Installation requirements and supported platforms?
Thanks for your answers! Just another ``trivial´´ question: Let's assume that I've installed Protocol Buffers on my Windows(tm) machine so that I'm able to generate language-specific stubs. I could transfer them to the target system runnnig Solaris. Do the stubs still depend on a protocol buffers runtime? I guess yes, but maybe this kind of stuff is managed thoroughly through native means offered by the operating systems (?). What I am primarily interested are bindings for Java and Perl.

Re: Installation requirements and supported platforms?
The source code generated by protoc is identical regardless of what platform protoc itself is executed on. The runtime library is always required. The Java code (and the Python code, and probably Perl too though that's a third-party implementation) is completely platform-neutral so it should work on every platform regardless of where you compile it.

Re: Installation requirements and supported platforms?
In theory it should work on any modern unix. In practice it's hard to say what platforms may have quirks that cause problems. I test each release on Linux, Visual Studio, Cygwin, MinGW, and Mac OSX, and Monty Taylor has been testing on Solaris with Sun Studio. It probably works on other platforms, too. Sometimes you will need to make trivial modifications to work around quirks or might need to play with the CXXFLAGS. Your chances are best if you use GCC.

However, I did not find a page stating which basic requirements must be met in order to install PB and what platforms are supported. Am I missing something or can I conclude that Windows and Linux are the only platforms that are officially supported? Which libraries (except the usual ones coming with gcc/g++) must be available if I wanted to compile PB from sources?
