How about starting use configure or cmake for ODP instead of maintain text file with dependencies? Best regards, Maxim.

That's an option, but whether or not we do that it's a common thing for software projects to add a list of dependencies somewhere as a service to the user. Whether that's in the README or in a separate file like INSTALL or DEPENDENCIES depends on the project involved. I think we've seen some consensus for this in the last few days? Cheers,
I vote for keeping it simple and not making the build more complex until it becomes a bigger issue.

Things will still work, and for linux-generic I don't think we're expecting massive performance? :-) >Do we need to support older versions? That's a good question. I'd personally like us to support at least the current stable releases of all the common Linux distributions, to make it easier for people to try ODP. If there are places where we *really* need newer versions of tools and libs, we should call those out. Having said that, we should probably support RH 6 as well, and that's on glibc 2.12 still. I'll extend the other patch to add an alternative for recvmmsg() too. Cheers,

after some thinking I came with idea that: 1. this dependency file describes only dependencies for linux-generic. It does not touch other platforms at all. So it has to be under linux-generic directory. 2. adding empty place holder file or file with only glibc is useless. I think we have to wait until we will have some valuable information.

But on this I disagree - let's start with the information we have and build it up. If there are any other known dependencies and version limits, let's list them now. If not, we'll have somewhere to add them over time. Cheers,

I think you should keep the same format. Maxim.
