2.1.2 Build Requirements

The generic build process from MicroBenchmark from a released source tarball have a reduced set of dependencies. These are the packages required:

• Bourne Shell and core utilities
• GNU sed or a compatible implementation
• GNU awk or a compatible implementation
• GNU grep or a compatible implementation
• GNU tar or a compatible implementation
• Make

  For the build recipes and test suite.

• C99 toolchain

  This release has passed all the tests with the following toolchains:

  • x86_64-linux-gnu
    • GNU GCC 4.9.4 - 12.3.0
    • LLVM/clang 6.0.1 - 15.0.7

      Tests run on GNU Guix: GNU Binutils 2.38 and GNU libc 2.35.

• C++ toolchain (Optional)

  This release has passed all the tests with the following toolchains:

  • x86_64-linux-gnu
    • GNU G++ 5.5.0 - 12.3.0
    • LLVM/clang++ 6.0.1 - 15.0.7

      Tests run on GNU Guix: GNU Binutils 2.38 and GNU libc 2.35.

• GNU Guile (Optional)

  This release has passed all the tests with the following toolchain and GNU Guile combinations:

  • x86_64-linux-gnu
    • Guile 2.2.7 (GNU GCC 4.9.4 - 12.3.0; LLVM/clang 6.0.1 - 15.0.7)
    • Guile 3.0.9 (GNU GCC 4.9.4 - 12.3.0; LLVM/clang 6.0.1 - 15.0.7)

      Tests run on GNU Guix: GNU Binutils 2.38 and GNU libc 2.35.

• GNU gettext (Optional)

  MicroBenchmark uses GNU gettext (see GNU gettext) for its localization (see Configuration.)

• GNU Gcov (Optional)

  The coverage report generation (see Configuration) uses gcov (see gcov in GNU Gcov) or a compatible interface².

• GNU Texinfo (Optional)

  Info files can be found on the distributed tarballs, but the generation of the manual pages on html format requires a functional GNU Texinfo installation (see GNU Texinfo manual).

• TeX Distribution (Optional)

  The manual pages can be generated on dvi and pdf formats, which need a functional TeX distribution.

These are common package names for these dependencies:

• gcc
• libunistring-dev, libunistring-devel
• make
• gettext (Optional)
• g++ or gcc-c++ (Optional)
• texinfo (Optional)
• texlive (Optional)
• guile-3.0-dev, guile30-devel
• guile-2.2-dev, guile22-devel
