Recommended development environments

The following table lists the platforms and compilers recommended for developing with FBX SDK:

Supported platform	Supported development environment or compiler
Linux	Any implementation that provides gcc version 3.4.4/4.0.2 or later, and libc version 2.3.4 or later.
Mac OS X	gcc 3.2 on PowerPC gcc 4.0 on PowerPC and Intel x86.
Windows XP SP2 or SP3, Windows Vista	Visual Studio 2005 and 2008.

If your platform or compiler is not listed above, you may not be able to compile and run programs that use FBX SDK.

Vertex cache compilation support

Class KFbxCache supports vertex caches, i.e., accessing point animation in a cache file. But this feature is not supported by some compilers on some platforms:

Platform/Environment	Compilers
Linux	Not supported by all gcc 3 compilers.
Mac OS	Not supported by all gcc 3 compilers.
Windows XP and Vista	Not supported by Visual Studio 2003 and earlier.

The above compilers may compile calls to KFbxCache methods, but the compiled code will not execute properly:

Methods will return False (i.e., failed), or:
A call to GetLastErrorID() will return eUNSUPPORTED_ARCHITECTURE.
