• Tried compiling WWIV without C++17 directives

    From Xenos #1@61.Wwivnet@11:1/101 to All on Sat Mar 7 03:13:22 2026

    On a hunch, I tried compiling WWIV after commenting out c++17 in Common.cmake.


    This would be the following lines in cmake/Common.cmake:


    set (CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 17)
    set (CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD_REQUIRED ON)


    I simply added # at the beginning of each of those lines (9-10), then ran cmake-config.sh in my build directory, defaulting to gcc/g++14.


    I ran the usual compile command: cmake --build . -j`nproc`


    and it successfully built and ran.

    I will try a different setup to test this further.
