1Bareos Porting Notes
2====================
3
4This document is intended mostly for developers who wish to port Bareos
5to a system that is not **officially** supported.
6
7It is hoped that Bareos clients will eventually run on every imaginable
8system that needs backing up. It is also hoped that the Bareos Directory
9and Storage daemons will run on every system capable of supporting them.

11Porting Requirements
12--------------------
13
14In General, the following holds true:
15
16-  Your compiler must provide support for 64 bit signed and unsigned
17   integers.
18
19-  **Bareos** requires a good implementation of pthreads to work.
20
21-  The source code has been written with portability in mind and is
22   mostly POSIX compatible. Thus porting to any POSIX compatible
23   operating system should be relatively easy.
