Installation supports GNU/Linux, MAC OSX, BSD and Windows (native and cygwin).
A C program (src/tools/make/configure.c) detects the details of the C compiler
and operating system on which it is running. In most cases it will automatically
determine all that is needed for the port to a new platform. and 'make full'
will just work.
and operating system on which it is running.
In some cases manual work will be required:
The following systems are recognised:
- If configure.c cannot recognise the operating system on which it is running
a few lines will need to be added to detect and set the make variables
correctly.
- If porting to a system that does not provide a Unix style API, it will be
necessary to implement a new variant of Platform.Mod providing the same
interface as Platformunix.Mod and Platform Windows.Mod.
- Linux, including Ubuntu and Centos derivatives.
- The BSDs, including OpenBSD and FreeBSD.
- Cygwin under Windows, MingW under Cygwin, Bash on Ubuntu on Windows.
Additionally a Windows .cmd is provided for building with Microsoft C.

Included libraries ease porting of code from the major Oberon systems:
- Oberon V4 and S3 compatible library set.
- ooc (optimizing oberon-2 compiler) library port.
- Ooc (optimizing oberon-2 compiler) library port.
- Ulm’s Oberon system library port.
- Okwood standard libraries.
- Oakwood standard libraries.
- Some other freely redistributable libraries.
Oakwood libraries are supported for both -O2 and -OC options, whereas the ULM, OOC and ETH system 3 libraries are only available on -O2 (default) compilations.

David Brown has worked on adding support for more platforms incuding windows using MSC, cygwin or mingw since January 2016. More recently he has generalised basic type support within the compiler to allow e.g. 64 bit LONGINT on 32 bit systems, and 32 bit LONGINT on 64 bit systems.
