</div></div>We currently do regular integration testing with successful results on<br>
Debian Sid, Ubuntu Precise & Saucy & Trusty, CentOS 6 & 7, FreeBSD 9.1<br>
& 10, OpenBSD 5.4, Fedora 19.<br>
<br>
Using GCC, clang, and ICC compilers where available.<br>
<br>
Other OS usually have good results as well with the exception of<br>
Windows and MacOS where SMP functionality used by Squid is missing or<br>
broken.<br>
<br>
FWIW: Old OS releases with older compilers generally work best with<br>
old Squid releases with matching level of compiler support. Not that<br>
such a situation is desirabe for use in todays Internet.<br>
<br>
NOTE: For tracking latest Squid in future you will want GCC 4.9+ or<br>
clang 3.4+ compilers. The Squid-3.4+ series build best performance<br>
optimizations with them and 3.6 series about to begin development will<br>
probably require C++11 at some point soon.<br>
<br>

PS. personally I am a Debian "fanboi", with Ubuntu a close second.<br>
That comes down to package management tools and their multi-arch<br>
support though.<br>
