From 5ee815ab6a9a2f93f4260126b80aec3ba27e6598 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Yann E. MORIN" Date: Sat, 26 Oct 2019 16:53:23 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] docs/manual: bump our gcc/g++ requirements to 4.8 Currently, we only require a gcc 4.4 version, which now is pretty old (released in April 2009). This requirement is not even tested nowadays, with our oldest autobuilder having a 4.7 version only. And even then, 4.7 is still old enough that it prevents us from upgrading some packages. For example cmake 3.10+ requires C++11 constructs that were only added in gcc 4.8 (when C++11 support was finally completed in gcc). So, update our requirements for gcc to at least 4.8.
