We have documentation customized for the following Linux distributions:
Building for Windows
A separate page for building Virtuoso on Windows exists.
That said, the build process on Windows is rather more complex than on other platforms, so these pre-built Windows packages are available --

You can manually browse to locate pre-built binaries of other versions.)
Building Virtuoso Extensions
The Virtuoso Server can be built with extensions for hosting different web scripting languages, virtual machines, and/or function libraries.
The links below list version requirements and the procedures for building these.
