Our CI tests now run on Ubuntu 22.04 and `ubuntu-latest` (which is
24.04 as of 2025-Mar-05).

#### MacOS

On MacOS you can use the tools/macos/bootstrap_mac.sh script to
install all the above dependencies using homebrew. Note that in order
to compile the code you need [XCode 8](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/xcode/id497799835?mt=12)
or later.

With MacPorts, you can use

```console
sudo port install automake autoconf libtool thrift gmp boost
```

You may need to specify `LDFLAGS=-L/opt/local/lib` on the `configure` command line.
You'll also need to manually install the [nanomsg](https://github.com/nanomsg/nanomsg)
library. Macports may fail to install non-mt versions of the boost libraries; you may
need to add symlinks in /opt/local/lib for libboost_X.dynlib -> libboost_X-mt.dynlib.

3. Building the code

#### Recommended: autoconf-based build
