Binaries for BNC are available for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X systems. We used the MinGW Version 4.4.0 compiler to create the Windows binaries. It is likely that BNC can be compiled on other systems where a GNU compiler and Qt Version 4.7.3 or any later version are installed. Please ensure that you always use the latest version of BNC available from http://igs.bkg.bund.de/ntrip/download. Note that static and shared builds of BNC are made available. A static build would be sufficient in case you don't want BNC to trace positions using Google Map (GM) or Open StreetMap (OSM). However, GM/OSM usage requires the QtWebKit library which can only be part of BNC builds from shared libraries. Using a shared library BNC build requires that you first install your own shared Qt library. The 'README.txt' file which comes with the BNC source code describes how to install Qt on Windows, Linux and Mac systems. -
