Ok, thats not one that is fixable in a practical sense, Scintilla versions after the 3.x.x stable versions do require C++17, and the changes between the old version and the new versions (two major versions after all) have too many changes to be practical to support both. > I'm afraid this is not possible to build without immense effort unless anyone > else has an idea? > Does one of you guys know if it's possible to install flatpaks on CentOS 7? > Probably that could be an idea then? > Well, I guess Flatsnaps, dockers or other containerised mechanisms would maybe allow for a newer C++ compiler to build against a newer runtime. Docker is used to do the Windows cross compiles and CI now. Would need to run in the container too so the newer C++ runtime library was available I guess. But I am no container expert.
