Dear Mr President, I went to the source code here: http://code.qt.io/cgit/qt-creator/qt-creator.git/tree/README.md and it says ## Compiling Qt Creator * Qt 5.9.0 or later [...] * On Linux: g++ 5.3 or later So what you found is true, but only part of the truth. std::enable_if_t is C++11, and that's officially required to build Qt Creator since 2014. gcc 4.8.4 was good enough until 2017, i.e. has been given a grace period of more than two years. Even if the version requirement for gcc weren't documented please note that the relation 'can-be-build-with' is not transitive. "Creator version X can be build with Qt version Y" and "Qt version Y can be build on OS version Z" does not imply "Creator version X can be build out-of-the-box on OS version Z". Please note also that "not out-of-the-box" does not necessarily mean it cannot be done. Asking Google for "ubuntu 14.04 gcc" gives as third hit https://gist.github.com/application2000/73fd6f4bf1be6600a2cf9f56315a2d91, apparently giving instructions to get a gcc 6.1 on Ubuntu 14.04. > -- > Roland Hughes, President > Logikal Solutions > (630) 205-1593 Andre' _______________________________________________ Interest mailing list [email protected] https://lists.qt-project.org/listinfo/interest
