-You will also need a decent ANSI-compliant C++-compiler. We recommend the
-C++ compiler from the GNU compiler collection, GCC >= 3.4. If you have a
+You will also need a decent ISO C++-11 compiler. We recommend the C++
+compiler from the GNU compiler collection, GCC >= 4.9. If you have a
different or older compiler you are on your own. Note that you may have to
use the same compiler you compiled CLN with because of differing
name-mangling schemes.
Known to work with:
- Linux on x86 and x86_64 using
- - GCC 3.4, 4.0, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3.x (x >= 1), 4.4, 4.5, 4.6, and 4.9
- - Clang 2.8
- - Windows on x86 using GCC 3.4 (MinGW)
+ - GCC 4.9, 5.1, and 5.2
+ - Clang 3.5.0
Known not to work with:
- Clang 2.7 and earlier due to poor C++ support.
- - GCC 4.3.0 due to the compiler bug,
- see <http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=35548>.
- - GCC 2.96 or earlier because proper exception and standard library support
- is missing there.
+ - GCC < 4.6.0 due to missing C++-11 support
