I’m getting quite close to merging the current C++-build branch into master
again, and this brings two significant changes:
* A C++-11 capable compiler is required; the test in configure looks for the
compiler accepting either -std=c++11 or -std=c++0x.
* Boost version 1.50 or greater will be required. There’s nothing magic about
that version, it was just the oldest of the ones on the various VMs I’ve got.
If someone would rather have an older minimum version, I can change it.
I'd never tried to compile GnuCash before now, so wasn't sure what to expect.
It all went pretty smooth and the initial blockers were pretty obvious to get
past, e.g. installing some development packages I didn't have previously.
The hardest for me was the Boost requirement, since I had 1.49.0 installed via package
manager (using Debian 7.6 "wheezy"). Luckily found the comment above, so I
hand-edited my configure script to require 1.49.0 and was back in business. But that was
after having downloaded Boost myself and not having any luck with the BOOST_ROOT
environment variable or the --with-boost or --with-boost-libdir configure options.
So point being, if the minimum really is somewhat arbitrary then I would vote
it be lowered to 1.49.0 (at least?).
Done. To 1.48, just for a cushion. It is likely temporary, though, because
boost::log was introduced in 1.54, and we'll probably want to use that to
replace g_log. Also 1.53 introduced some C++14 concurrency libraries that we
might want to use so that we don't have to force C++14-compatible
libstdc++/libc++.
Thanks, confirmed. Not sure yet how much I'll be building it but thanks
for the heads-up on boosting the boost soon...
