Binary Packages (Version 6.2.0)

  • Microsoft Windows x64 (64 bit, MSVC 2017): the package assumes that you have Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 installed. If not, you might have to install the Visual C++ Redistributable Packages Visual Studio 2017.
  • Mac OS X ≥ 10.8 (Intel 64 bit only): This package includes the Qt library, no separate download is needed.
  • Linux and FreeBSD: while packages for many distributions exist, these packages often lag behind by several versions. If you prefer an up-to-date version (which you definitely should), please consider building Gecode from source.
