============================================ System Requirements for PDFlib GmbH Products ============================================ Latest change: 2015-05-12 This document describes the requirements for using PDFlib GmbH binaries on various platforms. This list covers all platforms on which at least one product is supported. It should not be construed as a commitment regarding the availability of product/platform combinations. To find out whether a PDFlib GmbH product is supported at all on a particular platform please check the downloadable binary packages which are available at www.pdflib.com. ================================ Note on 64-bit Intel platforms ================================ Intel uses the term "Intel 64" for a processor architecture which is known by several other names: - Intel formerly called it EM64T (after using IA-32e) - Microsoft and Oracle call it x64 - AMD calls it AMD64 (after using x86-64) - Linux systems often refer to x86_64 PDFlib GmbH binaries for Intel 64 work on all architectures listed above. They do not work on Intel Itanium (formerly called IA-64), which is a separate architecture. Because of the vendor-specific conventions we continue to use the term "x64" instead of "Intel 64" in the context of Oracle and Microsoft operating systems. ================================ Windows ================================ Requirements: Windows XP/Vista/7/8/8.1/10 on x86 or x64 Windows Server 2003/2003 R2/2008/2008 R2/2012/2012 R2 on x86 or x64 .NET binding ------------ The following flavors are supported: - .NET Framework 2.0 - 3.5 - .NET Framework 4.0 - 4.5 - 32-bit (x86) and 64-bit (x64) versions of the above See PDFlib-in-.NET-HowTo.pdf for details on .NET configuration. With ASP.NET 2.0 and above the .NET editions of PDFlib GmbH products require Full Trust level. They do not work with any other trust level, such as High or Medium Trust. C and C++ bindings ------------------ Project files for the programming samples are available for Visual Studio 2005. Newer versions of Visual Studio can convert these automatically. ================================ Linux ================================ Requirements: GLIBC 2.3 (or later) based system on x86 GLIBC 2.4 (or later) based system on Intel 64 C and C++ bindings ------------------ Compiler: x86: g++ 3.4 or above (gcc 4.0 or above recommended) Intel 64: g++ 4.0 or above LDFLAGS: "-pthread" Java, Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby, Tcl bindings ------------------------------------------- x86 and Intel 64: libstdc++.so.6 ================================ OS X ================================ Requirements: OS X 10.6/10.7/10.8/10.9/10.10 on x86/x64 OS X 10.8 and above: Since OS X 10.8 the Gatekeeper protection feature blocks unsigned applications. This applies to all PDFlib GmbH command line tools. If you want to use these tools on OS X 10.8 or later you must inform the system that it is a safe application. Override Gatekeeper by Control-clicking the application icon and select "Open" from the top of the context menu. This must be done only once per user account. C, C++, and Objective-C bindings -------------------------------- Compiler: Xcode 4.2 or above PHP language binding -------------------- Some combinations of OS X versions and PHP builds result in a crash when accessing host fonts. As a workaround, host font access can be disabled; see PDFlib-in-PHP-HowTo.pdf for details. The workaround is also mentioned in a comment in all PHP samples. ================================ FreeBSD ================================ Requirements: x86: FreeBSD 7/8/9/10 and compatible systems Intel 64: FreeBSD 7/8/9/10 and compatible systems Additional requirement for the Perl, Python, PHP, Ruby and Java language bindings: - libstdc++.so.6 must be installed. This can be achieved by adding the package /usr/ports/lang/gcc. Additional requirement for the Ruby language binding in addition to the above: - libcrypt.so.5 must be installed. So ruby will be supported with FreeBSD8 and newer. ================================ AIX ================================ Requirements: AIX 5.2 and compatible systems; currently AIX 6/7 C and C++ bindings ------------------ Compiler: XLC 8.0 or above: you must use a thread-safe variant of the compiler (such as xlC_r). g++ is unsupported: CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS for g++: "-mxl-compat -pthread" LDFLAGS for g++: "-lC -pthread" ================================ HP-UX ================================ Requirements: HP-UX 11.23 and compatible systems on IA-64 (currently up to 11.31 and 11i v3) C and C++ bindings ------------------ Compiler: aCC CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS/LDFLAGS: "-mt" (required for multithreaded applications) CXXFLAGS/LDFLAGS: "-AA" (required for 2.0 Standard C++ Library) g++ is unsupported: CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS/LDFLAGS for g++: "-lCsup_v2 -pthread", ================================ iOS ================================ Requirements: - Runtime requirements: iOS 5.1.1 or later - development requirements: Xcode 5.0.1 or later - supported language bindings: Objective-C, C, C++ ================================ Android ================================ Requirements: - runtime requirements: Android 2.1 (API-Level-7) and newer is supported - development requirements: Android SDK r10 or newer is recommended. - supported language binding: Java and C/C++ for NDK. ================================================ Windows Embedded CE and Windows Embedded Compact ================================================ Requirements: - runtime requirements: - Windows Embedded CE 6.0, Windows Embedded Compact 7.0 - CPU architectures: ARMV4I or newer, x86 - development requirements: Platform Builder for Windows Embedded CE 6.0 or later - supported language binding: C, C++ ================================ Solaris ================================ Requirements: Solaris 8 and above on x86, x64, or sparc C and C++ bindings ------------------ Compiler: Oracle Solaris Studio CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS/LDFLAGS: "-mt -lpthread" g++ is unsupported: CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS for g++: "-pthread" LDFLAGS for g++: "-lCstd -lCrun -pthread" ================================ i5/iSeries ================================ General requirements: OS V5 R3 M0 and compatible systems Requirements for using PDFlib GmbH products with PHP: - Zend Server for IBM i or Zend Server Community Edition (CE) for IBM i (requires PASE for i, which is a no-charge option of IBM i) - PHP 5.3 - The binaries from the AIX 32-bit package must be used (not from the i5/iSeries package) ================================ zSeries ================================ Requirements: z/OS 1.6 and compatible systems with USS (32-bit/64-bit) or MVS (32-bit) (MVS versions of PDFlib GmbH products are not thread-safe) or zLinux 32-bit or 64-bit (s390/s390x) GLIBC 2.3 (or later) based system (e.g. SLES 10 or above, RHEL 5 or above). C/C++ binding ------------- CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS: -W "c,float(ieee)"
