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, PowerPC, S/390, SPARC, ARM, MIPS, RISC-V, + and PA-RISC, including + big-endian, little-endian, 32-bit, and 64-bit variants where applicable. + 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 current + versions of these operating systems: Linux, Windows, + FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, DragonFlyBSD, macOS, AIX, Solaris, and illumos. + 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.
