Control: tags -1 patch What broke the build is that gcc 6 changed the default C++ standard from C++98 to C++14.
Not all valid C++98 code is also valid C++11 and C++14 code. Note that this just changed the default, when told to process C++98 code gcc 6 does not differ in any significant way from gcc 5. Making the code compatible with C++14 would be the best possible solution, but as a workaround it is possible to fix the build with this change to tell gcc that this is C++98 code. --- debian/rules.old 2016-11-01 04:12:39.000000000 +0000 +++ debian/rules 2016-11-01 04:13:10.000000000 +0000 @@ -1,6 +1,8 @@ #!/usr/bin/make -f # -*- makefile -*- +export DEB_CXXFLAGS_MAINT_APPEND = -std=gnu++98 + # Uncomment this to turn on verbose mode. export DH_VERBOSE=1 cu Adrian -- "Is there not promise of rain?"
