1 # Build tool dependency policy
3 To ensure the broadest compatibility when building the benchmark library, but
4 still allow forward progress, we require any build tooling to be available for:
7 * The last two Ubuntu LTS releases
9 Currently, this means using build tool versions that are available for Ubuntu
10 18.04 (Bionic Beaver), Ubuntu 20.04 (Focal Fossa), and Debian 11 (bullseye).
12 _Note, CI also runs ubuntu-16.04 and ubuntu-14.04 to ensure best effort support
16 The current supported version is cmake 3.5.1 as of 2018-06-06.
18 _Note, this version is also available for Ubuntu 14.04, an older Ubuntu LTS
19 release, as `cmake3`._
