+ A platform (that is, a CPU architecture and operating system combination)
+ is considered supported by the <span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span> development
+ community if the code contains provisions to work on that platform and
+ it has recently been verified to build and pass its regression tests
+ on that platform. Currently, most testing of platform compatibility
+ is done automatically by test machines in the
+ <a class="ulink" href="https://buildfarm.postgresql.org/" target="_top">PostgreSQL Build Farm</a>.
+ If you are interested in using <span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span> on a platform
+ that is not represented in the build farm, but on which the code works
+ or can be made to work, you are strongly encouraged to set up a build
+ farm member machine so that continued compatibility can be assured.
+ </p><p>
+ In general, <span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span> can be expected to work on
+ these CPU architectures: x86, x86_64, IA64, PowerPC,
+ PowerPC 64, S/390, S/390x, Sparc, Sparc 64, ARM, MIPS, MIPSEL,
+ and PA-RISC. Code support exists for M68K, M32R, and VAX, but these
+ architectures are not known to have been tested recently. It is often
+ possible to build on an unsupported CPU type by configuring with
+ <code class="option">--disable-spinlocks</code>, but performance will be poor.
+ </p><p>
+ <span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span> can be expected to work on these operating
+ systems: Linux (all recent distributions), Windows (XP and later),
+ FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, macOS, AIX, HP/UX, and Solaris.
+ Other Unix-like systems may also work but are not currently
+ being tested. In most cases, all CPU architectures supported by
+ a given operating system will work. Look in
+ <a class="xref" href="installation-platform-notes.html" title="17.7. Platform-Specific Notes">Section 17.7</a> below to see if
+ there is information
+ specific to your operating system, particularly if using an older system.
+ </p><p>
+ If you have installation problems on a platform that is known
+ to be supported according to recent build farm results, please report
+ it to <code class="email">&lt;<a class="email" href="mailto:pgsql-bugs@lists.postgresql.org">pgsql-bugs@lists.postgresql.org</a>&gt;</code>. If you are interested
+ in porting <span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span> to a new platform,
+ <code class="email">&lt;<a class="email" href="mailto:pgsql-hackers@lists.postgresql.org">pgsql-hackers@lists.postgresql.org</a>&gt;</code> is the appropriate place
+ to discuss that.
