If you have successfully built and run ProFTPD on a platform not listed, you are invited to share your experience. Please include your platform name and version (e.g. uname -a), compiler and version, the ProFTPD version (e.g ./proftpd -V), any optional modules that you are using (e.g. ./proftpd -l), and any special instructions or comments.

The Linux compilation environment largely depends on the kernel, glibc, gcc, and libpam. So, please either report the versions of these components, or the distribution name, version and any patches affecting the compilation environment.
