| # 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 AND |
| |
| Currently, this means using build tool versions that are available for Ubuntu |
| 16.04 (Xenial), Ubuntu 18.04 (Bionic), and Debian stretch. |
| |
| _Note, [travis](.travis.yml) runs under Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty) for linux builds._ |
| |
| ## 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, the previous Ubuntu LTS |
| release, as `cmake3`._ |
