Provided you have a compiler with decent ISO C++11 support, Xapian should work on modern Unix or Unix-like platforms (including Android), and also Microsoft Windows.

In particular, both 32-bit and 64-bit platforms are well supported, as are both big and little endian platforms.

However we don't regularly test on all possible platform and compiler combinations, so regressions in support are possible. If you hit a problem, please open a ticket with details. If you can work out a clean way to address the problem, please propose a patch.

For details of compiler requirements, see the INSTALL file in the release you're using.
