Mandriva:
Mandriva has integrated fio into their package repository, so installing

Solaris:
Packages for Solaris are available from OpenCSW. Install their pkgutil
tool (http://www.opencsw.org/get-it/pkgutil/) and then install fio via
Windows:
Rebecca Cran <rebecca+fio@bluestop.org> has fio packages for Windows at
- http://www.bluestop.org/fio/ .
+ https://www.bluestop.org/fio/ . The latest builds for Windows can also
+ be grabbed from https://ci.appveyor.com/project/axboe/fio by clicking
+ the latest x86 or x64 build, then selecting the ARTIFACTS tab.
BSDs:
Packages for BSDs may be available from their binary package repositories.
How to compile fio on 64-bit Windows:
1. Install Cygwin (http://www.cygwin.com/). Install **make** and all
- packages starting with **mingw64-i686** and **mingw64-x86_64**.
+ packages starting with **mingw64-x86_64**. Ensure
+ **mingw64-x86_64-zlib** are installed if you wish
+ to enable fio's log compression functionality.
2. Open the Cygwin Terminal.
3. Go to the fio directory (source files).
4. Run ``make clean && make -j``.
-To build fio on 32-bit Windows, run ``./configure --build-32bit-win`` before
-``make``.
+To build fio for 32-bit Windows, ensure the -i686 versions of the previously
+mentioned -x86_64 packages are installed and run ``./configure
+--build-32bit-win`` before ``make``. To build an fio that supports versions of
+Windows below Windows 7/Windows Server 2008 R2 also add ``--target-win-ver=xp``
+to the end of the configure line that you run before doing ``make``.
It's recommended that once built or installed, fio be run in a Command Prompt or
other 'native' console such as console2, since there are known to be display and
signal issues when running it under a Cygwin shell (see
-http://code.google.com/p/mintty/issues/detail?id=56 for details).

Documentation
utility statistics and (I think) huge page support, support for that does exist
in FreeBSD/Solaris.
-Fio uses pthread mutexes for signalling and locking and FreeBSD does not
-support process shared pthread mutexes. As a result, only threads are
-supported on FreeBSD. This could be fixed with sysv ipc locking or
-other locking alternatives.

Other \*BSD platforms are untested, but fio should work there almost out of the
box. Since I don't do test runs or even compiles on those platforms, your
