Following compilers are tested and known to work with Boost.Locale

• GCC 3.4 to 4.6
• Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 to 2010
• Intel 10 to 12
• Clang 2.8
• Path Scale 4
• Visual Age 10.1

Following operating systems are tested with Boost.Locale

• Linux
• Windows
• FreeBSD
• Solaris
• Darwin
• Cygwin
• AIX

Known Issues

• Path Scale and MSVC 9 with STLPort has some test faults regarding invalid UTF-8 sequences in wide file I/O.
• The native iconv library on AIX platform does not support required character encodings, thus either ICU or GNU iconv library should be used.
• Mingw/GCC version 4.5 and above is required to support shared builds of Boost.Locale - versions that allow dynamic link with libstdc++ and libgcc. There is no problems with Cygwin's gcc-4.3 that provides shared versions of runtime libraries.
• In some cases the build system fails to link with iconv library on Darwin system, in such cases explicit path to the location of iconv library should be given using -sICONV_PATH build option.
