Ah. I only saw that description, thought you're collecting OSes for whatever reason and wanted to contribute to that list. No, no curl on CP/M or BS2000 :)
Wow, impressive reach. Is this because you use some standard vanilla C code? Or is there additional patching necessary to make it work on all of these?
@fst the biggest explanation is C. But sure, there are quite a number of #ifdefs and more to make sure it works on as much as possible.
Also: many of the ports to these different OSes were never contributed back to us so I don't actually know how much extra patching that was necessary. Or not.
@railmeat extra time for whom and worthwhile to whom and who would judge? if user U spends time to make curl run on machine M, who is to tell if that is "worthwhile" ?
Microsoft POSIX subsystem, SFU and SUA/Interix are missing. curl.se/mail/tracker-2006-03/0โฆ Microsoft WSL (version 1), while running Linux bins, is technically also it's own OS.
@lsanoj I decided not to consider WSL its own operating system here. I don't people in general consider it that. Wasn't Interix also more of an emulation layer (like a cygwin) rather than its own OS? I'm asking because I really don't know.
Missed the part, where cygwin was removed from your list :D MS posix subsystem, SFU, SUA and Interix are all subsystems with call translations. I would argue the distinction should be rather not made by if its a full OS, but rather if it needs porting, which the WSL predating systems needed.
@lsanoj ah right. I think my slide started out like that, which is why cygwin was on it for a long time, but it made the line in the sand a bit vague so I have moved over to "operating systems" which is still not crystal clear, but maybe a little less vague

Makes me wonder which software has ran on the most OSes. Curl/libcurl is definitely a contender.
