Recommended development environments

FBX SDK Programmers Guide > Installing and Configuring >

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 PowerPCGCC 4.0 on PowerPC and Intel x86
Windows XP SP2, Windows Vista	Visual Studio 2003, 2005, and 2008.

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

Vertex cache compilation support

ClassKFbxCachesupports 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 not compatible with vertex caches
Linux	Not supported by all GCC 3 compilers.
Mac OS	Not supported by all GCC 3 compilers.
Windows XP	Not supported by .NET 2003 compiler.

For these compilers and platforms, you may be able to compile calls toKFbxCachemethods, but the compiled code will not execute properly:

Methods will returnFalse(i.e., failed).
A call toGetLastErrorID()will returneUNSUPPORTED_ARCHITECTURE.
