What are the minimum system requirements?

I mainly use Linux, but what would be the minimum requirements to bootstrap the Odin compiler on Windows or Macintosh? I’m asking in terms of operating system versions, as in which oldest versions of those two platforms are still supported, but any additional details would be helpful.

I could not find this information on the GitHub page or the FAQ.

for windows I tried a few months ago on win7 with vs2019 installed. It worked but only after I had to patch out the use of WaitOnAddress both in the library and the taskqueue.

though I didn’t fully exercise the entire shipped runtime. Nor do I expect it to get official support.

I’ve replied with Windows 10 and MacOS 10.4 in the past, I know for a fact those are supported and work with the core libraries. Anything below I would be unsure about, I believe a core:time API uses a function added in Windows 10 for example.

That being said I do think it’s worth documenting and explicitly stating what we want to support which helps both maintainers and users.
