 ===== Windows =====
-FIXME
+The majority of the Synchronet executable files and libraries for Windows are (as of v3.16b development, started March, 2014) built with [[http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40787|Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2013 for Windows Desktop]] (free).
+Certain GUI components (e.g. Synchronet Control Panel, ''sbbsctrl.exe'') are currently built with Borland C++Builder 6, with efforts under way to transition to [[http://www.embarcadero.com/products/cbuilder|Embarcadero Technologies C++Builder]] (not free).
+The Synchronet Windows 95 FOSSIL driver (''sbbsexec.vxd'') cannot currently be rebuilt with modern Windows tools and SDKs.
+The 16-bit portion of the Synchronet FOSSIL driver (''dosxtrn.exe'') can be rebuilt using Microsoft Visual C++ v1.52 (16-bit).
 ===== UNIX =====
-FIXME
+GNU C/C++ (gcc) is officially supported on Unix/Linux platforms, while other compilers (e.g Intel C Compiler, Clang) may be used by experienced programmers.
