Platforms

Supported platforms

The setups tested in CI are intended to cover all platforms supported under Zeek's platform support policy. Some platforms are supported on a best effort basis.

The following configurations are continuously tested in CI:

Platform	Compiler	Zeek	Supported platform	CI	Notes
ubuntu-20.04	clang-11.1.0	master	Best effort	master
alpine-3.12	gcc-9.3.0	3.0.3	✅	✅

MacOS Catalina	Apple Clang	3.2.2	✅	✅
MacOS Catalina (Homebrew)	Apple Clang	3.2.2	Best effort	master	Zeek and Spicy from Homebrew; only sanity checks
MacOS Big Sur	Apple Clang	3.2.2	✅	✅
MacOS Big Sur (Homebrew)	Apple Clang	3.2.2	✅	master	Zeek and Spicy from Homebrew; only sanity checks

But for Zeek we typically prefer distribution packages over installing directly from source; for Zeek we use prebuild pinned packages from Zeek's build service. For some setups it might still be necessary to install requirements from non-distribution sources; we e.g., install LLVM from upstream packages for Debian-like distributions or from source; the same sometimes applies to Bison, Flex, or CMake.
