Zeek Operating System Support Matrix
The following table shows Zeek's operating system support using the default toolset of the OS. It reflects our platform support policy. It also shows if we perform CI tests against the OS, and if we provide binary packages using the OpenSuse Build Service for it.
For columns with "*", see notes below. For Linux systems, the listed compiler
version is the default compiler installed by the OpenSuse Build service; for
FreeBSD it is the version shipped with the OS; for macOS it is the current
version that comes with XCode (note that Apple's custom clang uses a
different version scheme than upstream llvm/clang, but the version it's derived
from can be found in this table).

Due to the build system we use to create binary packages (OBS), we can currently not provide binary packages for most RedHat based or derived distributions. Fedora is the only such distribution for which we can currently provide binaries.
Source builds should continue to work on Red Hat derived distributions; please see the above matrix for the automated CI tests that we perform.
The default compiler is too old to compile recent versions of Zeek. Using the gcc-10 or gcc-11 packages allows compilation of Zeek. Similarly the default python installation is too old for recent versions of Zeek. Using the python39 packages works.
