python 2.6 or later
perl 5.0 or later
Does anyone know why that is?
- gizzlon 15y agoLooks like mostly building scripts (documentation, tests ..) Guess they expect all platforms to have Perl and Python these days..
- fzzzy 15y agoThe perl dependency is from LLVM. Rust uses Python for utility scripts, "Just Because." Also, you left rustc off the list of languages required to compile rust. :-) It's self-hosted.
