| # Build tool dependency policy |
| |
| To ensure the broadest compatibility when building the benchmark library, but |
| still allow forward progress, we require any build tooling to be available for: |
| |
| * Debian stable _and_ |
| * The last two Ubuntu LTS releases |
| |
| Currently, this means using build tool versions that are available for Ubuntu |
| 18.04 (Bionic Beaver), Ubuntu 20.04 (Focal Fossa), and Debian 11 (bullseye). |
| |
| _Note, CI also runs ubuntu-16.04 and ubuntu-14.04 to ensure best effort support |
| for older versions._ |
| |
| ## cmake |
| The current supported version is cmake 3.5.1 as of 2018-06-06. |
| |
| _Note, this version is also available for Ubuntu 14.04, an older Ubuntu LTS |
| release, as `cmake3`._ |
