Hi

What the oldest compatible gcc version and clang version for this? GCC 6.1 and clang 3.5?

Those two variables from trunk/uppbox/Scripts/domake need to be updated:

minimum_gcc_dumpversion="4.9.0"
minimum_clang_dumpversion="3.5.0"

I have just succeeded to compile theide with GCC 5.4.0 (thats Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, so it is sort of important).

Clang 3.5 sounds about right.

Note: It is possible to compile theide with Clang 3.4, settings -std=c++11. This excludes AsyncWork, but rest of U++ works fine. I have specifically made this workaround to support Debian 6 Squeeze...

minimum_gcc_dumpversion="5.4.0" added in svn repository. I also fixed clang version validation code.

For clang 3.4 and earlier versions, the user has to manually change -std=c++14 to -std=c++11 in several files:

* domake
* CLANG.bm.in
* GCC.bm.in
* uppsrc/Makefile.in
* uppsrc/uMakefile.in

I don't know if we should support those old clang releases.

Hello Amrein,

I found that the package "gnome-themes-standard" is require to avoid following warning while running GUI app (For example TheIDE):

Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "adwaita",

I used KDE, so it might be the default package for all gtk like distribution like Ubuntu, but for KDE it is not. We should add it at least to our "debian" file. Please, let me know what do you think?

Sincerely,
Klugier

Hello,

It is minor it only affects terminal output when GUI application is launched via console. I believe we need to solve more important tasks... If you don't like the warning just install the package i mentioned above Smile

I have succeeded to rewrite critical part of code in C++11, so U++ is now C++11 once again....

./uppbox/Scripts/upp-devel.spec
./uppsrc/ide/Methods.cpp
./uppsrc/ide/InstantSetup.cpp

ide/Methods.cpp: c++14 is only in context with android builder, irrelevant otherwise
ide/InstantSetup.cpp: is only active in Windows and there it only setup 'internal' mingw-w64, which we know is GCC 7.2.0 (and thus definitely supports c++14)
ide/domake: c++14 is only in list of variants to try

rest should be fixed....

Web-documentation is currently broken: https://www.ultimatepp.org/www$uppweb$documentation$en-us.ht ml
Clicking on links in internal documentation doesn't work as well. I checked that on Linux.

Thanks for spotting this, I just checked the top of the space and did not bothered to scroll down... Smile

Should be now fixed.
