Right, I was looking at compilers.h and most of the cruft is to support GCC 2.8 and egcs-1.x - seriously old :) line 144 of simgear/compilers.h says it all: error Time to upgrade. GNU compilers < 2.7 not supported So, what would be a sensible minimum version of GCC to require? 3.2 would be my guess, or maybe 3.3. I'll work on some patches for the macintosh | __MWERKS__ | __APPLE__ stuff, FX / XMESA stuff is not controversial, but I'd want to avoid creating merges headaches for people working on OSG code. I guess cleaning up / getting rid of compilers.h will take longer.
