On Windows you are free to use every compiler version since you have to compile all libraries yourself anyway. But this is only for open source apps. I am thinking more in a way of "host applications" I do not have control over. For example OIIO is used by MtoA, MtoA must run in Maya, and Maya is VS 2010. Nuke uses 2010, too. So we need to stick to those compiler versions, because of big incompatibilities. On Linux Maya uses 4.1.3, which is pretty old I guess. The standard Python 2.6/2.7 again, that comes with the official installer is VS 2008 (as is Houdini for example). Since we will be stuck with Py 2.6 for a while (I guess, since there seems to be no urge in any software package to move to 3) 2008 is the lowest for windows. I guess to use all the super new feature of C++11 VS 2012 would be needed since older versions are not very compliant... Right now we are on Windows only, but that will change. We will be going with a stock CentOS 6.x. So its 4.4 there? > * What Boost version do you think will be the oldest you'll need OIIO to > support?
