Covered by the team

The following list provides an overview about the environments some of the team members have access to and therefore normally should work out of the box or at least were used sometimes in the past. This list by no means tells something about how good the support on each platform is, it's just a guide.

The following platforms/compilers are expected to work correctly:

• Windows 10(32 and 64-bit) - MSVC 2017, 2019
• Windows 10(32-bit) - Embarcadero C++ Builder XE 4
• Windows 11(64-bit) - MSVC 2019, 2022

Various Linux distributions already have Log4cxx as part of their package managers - consult the documentation for your distribution to determine if a package already exists.
