| Supported kernel, libc, toolchain versions |
| ========================================== |
| |
| 1. Build testing with Travis CI |
| ------------------------------- |
| |
| We test master branch in https://travis-ci.org/github/linux-test-project/ltp/builds[travis CI] |
| to ensure LTP builds on various distributions including old, current and bleeding edge. |
| We test both gcc and clang toolchains, various architectures with cross-compilation. |
| For list of tested distros see |
| https://github.com/linux-test-project/ltp/blob/master/.travis.yml[.travis.yml]. |
| |
| |
| NOTE: Travis does only build testing, passing the CI means only that the |
| test compiles fine on variety of different distributions and releases. |
| Travis also uses the latest distribution image of a particular release. |
| |
| 1.1 Oldest tested distributions |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| |
| [align="center",options="header"] |
| |============================================================== |
| | Distro | kernel | glibc | gcc | clang |
| | CentOS 7 | 3.10 | 2.17 | 4.8.5 | - |
| | Ubuntu 16.04 LTS xenial | 4.4 | 2.23 | 5.3.1 | - |
| | Debian 9 stretch (oldstable) | 4.9.30 | 2.24 | 6.3.0 | 3.8 |
| |============================================================== |
| |
| Older distributions are not officially supported, which means that it |
| may or may not work. It all depends on your luck. It should be possible |
| to compile latest LTP even on slightly older distributions than we |
| support with a few manual tweaks, e.g. disabling manually tests for |
| newly added syscalls, etc. Trivial fixes/workarounds may be accepted, |
| but users are encouraged to move to a newer distro. |
| |
| If latest LTP cannot be compiled even with some amount of workarounds, |
| you may result to older LTP releases, however these are _not_ supported |
| in any way. Also if you are trying to run LTP on more than 10 years old |
| distribution you may as well reconsider you life choices. |
| |
| 1.2 Tested architectures |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| |
| [align="center",options="header"] |
| |================================== |
| | arch | build |
| | x86_64 | native |
| | x86 emulation | native |
| | aarch64 | cross compilation |
| | ppc64le | cross compilation |
| | s390x | cross compilation |
| |================================== |
| |
| 1.3 Supported libc |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| |
| [align="center",options="header"] |
| |================================== |
| | Libc | Note |
| | https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/[GNU C Library (glibc)] | Targetted libc, tested both compilation and actual test results. |
| | https://uclibc-ng.org/[uClibc-ng] | Although not being tested it should work as well as it attempt to maintain a glibc compatible interface. |
| | https://www.uclibc.org/[uClibc] | Older https://www.uclibc.org/[uClibc] might have problems. |
| | https://musl.libc.org/[musl] | Not yet fully supported (see |
| https://github.com/linux-test-project/ltp/blob/master/travis/alpine.sh[travis script] |
| for list of files which need to be deleted in order to compile under musl). |
