This page documents information about the target platforms and toolchains that
are supported by the mongo-c-driver libraries.
Operating Systems

Ubuntu | Versions 16.04, 18.04, and 20.04. Subsequent minor releases are also supported. Ubuntu 22.04 and newer is not yet tested. Ubuntu derivatives based on supported Ubuntu versions are also supported. |
Arch Linux | |
macOS | Version 11.0 |
Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2016 | Windows variants of the same generation are supported |
Compilers
The following compilers are continually tested for mongo-c-driver:
Compiler | Notes |

Architectures
The following CPU architectures are continually tested for mongo-c-driver:
Architecture | Notes |
|---|---|
x86 (32-bit) | Only tested on Windows |
x86_64 (64-bit x86) | Tested on Linux, macOS, and Windows |
ARM / aarch64 | Tested on macOS and Linux |
Power8 (ppc64le) | Only tested on Linux |
zSeries (s390x) | Only tested on Linux |
Others
Other platforms and toolchains are not tested, but similar versions of the above platforms should work. If you encounter a platform or toolchain that you expect to work and find that it does not, please open an issue describing the problem, and/or open a GitHub Pull Request to fix it.
Simple pull requests to fix unsupported platforms are welcome, but will be considered on a case-by-case basis. The acceptance of a pull request to fix the libraries on an unsupported platform does not imply full support of that platform.
