(1) IMPORTANT NOTE: Since 32-bit binaries for Microsoft® Windows operating system have been compiled using MinGW-w64, it has been reported that in certain environments a dynamic link library libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll has to be included in the same folder with the executables. Therefore, libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll has been added to INCHI-1-BIN/windows/32bit and INCHI-1-BIN/windows/32bit/dll folders (we would like to thank nbehrnd for his assistance with this matter).

+(2) In order to make makefile32s more consistent on all operating systems (see the note (1) above), and for easier change of the default compiler, the default compiler on 32-bit UNIX-based OSs has been set to Clang/LLVM.

Precompiled binaries for MacOS® (i.e. .app executables and .dylib libraries) will be provided very soon. Until then, please note that InChI can now be compiled from source on MacOS® using native/default Clang or GCC (if installed).

+- `makefile/makefile32` files are configured to detect OSs automatically, so it is no longer needed to specify OS explicitly or run batch/bash script(s) before compiling.
+- `GCC` and `Clang/LLVM` compilers are also automatically detected by `makefile/makefile32` files with:
+ - `GCC` set as a default compiler on 64-bit platforms
+ - `Clang/LLVM` set as a default compiler on 32-bit platforms (please refer to these notes for more details).
+- If both `GCC` and `Clang/LLVM` compilers are installed, setting a default compiler can be done simply by changing `CCN` parameter in `makefile/makefile32` where:

+ - `CCN = 2` corresponds to `Clang/LLVM`.
Support for native/default MacOS® `Clang` compiler is now provided with 64-bit versions of `makefile` files (we would like to thank John Mayfield for his assistance with this matter).
