	WGL	GLX (X11)	AGL (Carbon)
Windows XP^1,5,7	pipe creates affinity context⁶, window uses handle (HWND) and WGL context (HGLRC)	not yet implemented	API does not exist
Linux²	API does not exist	pipe uses X11 display connection (Display*), window uses X11 drawable (XID) and glX context (GLXContext)	API does not exist
Mac OS X³	API does not exist	same as Linux	window uses Carbon WindowRef and AGLContext
Other Unix-like⁴	API does not exist	same as Linux, minimal porting needed	API does not exist

1	Visual Studio 2005 project files, tested both in 32 bit and 64 bit Windows XP.
2	tested both in 32 bit and 64 bit i386, as well as ia64. Regular testing on Ubuntu 6.10 and RHEL4.
3	AGL or Tiger only support 32 bit, 64 bit possible with GLX on Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard. Tested on i386 and ppc using 10.4 Tiger and on i386 and x86_64 using 10.5 Leopard. Universal libraries and universal binary support. Makefile-based build environment, no XCode or framework support yet.
4	Version 0.1 was tested on SGI IRIX. Porting to other Unix-like operating system requires minimal porting effort, mostly for compiler differences.
5	Version 0.4 and later has experimental support for Cygwin.
6	requires WGL_NV_gpu_affinity extension available on nVidia Quadro fx with selected drivers.
7	svn tree has experimental support for MinGW/MSys.
