We use a combination of Microsoft Visual Studio/C++ (for the majority) and Borland (for a few GUI components) build/make systems.

 +===== UNIX ===== 
 +All non-Windows systems supported are UNIX-Like (e.g. Linux, FreeBSD) operating systems running on 32-bit or 64-bit Intel/AMD-compatible x86 processors and some 32-bit or 64-bit little-endian ARM processors. We use GNU Make as the build system though some included (and built-from-source) 3rd party libraries (e.g. cryptlib and libmozjs) might use more complicated build systems, e.g. requiring Perl or Python.
