Hello Sylvain, First, thank you for your work on the conda packaging. The c++17 requirements is only needed for a single file that is used to implement fullpath() (named fullpath.cpp). The used API is reduced to std::filesystem::weakly_canonical and std::filesystem::absolute [1]. I guess using a light patch might relax the use of the filesystem header, for example, something like [2].
About the Java8 requirement, I guess you could ./configure --without-xcos as a first approach. I started porting the Java code out of javax.xml.bind [3] but that's very repetitive and error prone work.
