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 2016-10-23 19:32:24.000000000 +0000 +++ debian/rules 2016-10-23 19:32:31.000000000 +0000 @@ -1,4 +1,6 @@ #!/usr/bin/make -f +export DEB_CXXFLAGS_MAINT_APPEND = -std=gnu++98 + include /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/debhelper.mk include /usr/share/cdbs/1/class/cmake.mk cu Adrian -- "Is there not promise of rain?"
