  • 1): the wolfclient is missing as Qt is far too old
  • 2): NetBSD currently has broken ICU and boost-locale support
  • 3): the wolfclient is currently missing, no builds with the Forte compiler are available
  • 4): Redhat decided not to provide icu-devel, so boost-locale support is broken

Where do I find binary installation packages?

If I compile from source, where do I find information about how to do this?
