[vlc-devel] why can't I use gcc 4.8.5?

[Sean McGovern]

Nomiya-san,

Please have a look at the config.log that is generated in your build directory. It may give some additional hints as to why it is failing at that test.

As you mentioned, gcc 4.8.x does indeed support C++11, at least according to https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.8.5/gcc/Standards.html#Standards

Hello,

I tried to compile vlc 3.0.0 with g++ 4.8.5, but configure rejects;

[...]
checking for C/C++ restrict keyword... __restrict
checking whether g++ supports C++11 features by default... no
checking whether g++ supports C++11 features with -std=c++11... no
checking whether g++ supports C++11 features with -std=c++0x... no
configure: error: *** A compiler with support for C++11 language features is required.

Why?
g++ 4.8.5 supports -std=c++11, I wonder.

Coud you inform me of my problem's cause?

Thanks.
