We’re soon going to start requiring newer versions of some tools and libraries to compile MAME. The oldest versions of tools and libraries we will officially support will be:

• GCC 10.3
• clang 11.0
• SDL 2.0.14
• Qt 5.15
• GNU libstdc++ 10.3
• LLVM libc++ 11.0

Some older versions of clang, Qt, GNU libstdc++ and LLVM libc++ may continue to work for a while, but no effort will be made to maintain support.

The oldest supported tools and libraries are approximately three years old. Examples of environments that provide sufficiently up-to-date tools and libraries include Ubuntu Linux 22.04LTS, Fedora Linux 33 and macOS 11.0 “Big Sur” with Xcode 12.5.
