I don't use lxqt here, but ... I'm using gcc-5.2.0 very successfully here. I am not aware of a single package which doesn't compile with this version. And the kernel itself compiles just fine (currentlich running 4.2.0-rc6 compiled with gcc-5.2.0) One caveat though when upgrading a system which has been built with gcc-x for x < 5. The (pure) C++ libraries aren't compatible with older versions so that all packages which link to libstdc++ or libsupc++ have to be rebuilt. Packages which just use C aren't effected at all. Helmut
