Supported Platforms

ROOT can be build on the following combination of CPU's, operating systems and compilers.

ROOT 6

The compiler needs to support -std=c++11 to be able to build version 6.

The words in bold are the architecture names used by the ./configure script. The default architecture for a platform is auto-detected by cmake and ./configure, but alternative architectures can be specified using one of the above architecture names.
