Title: Aurora turn back in time ? (Thor base extlib)
Post by: Redee on November 18, 2014, 01:20:14 pm

And there says >>

It requires partial C++11 support.

I have Thor dev version. And Thor have extlibs > Aurora!!!
CMake collects to VS9 and everything ok.
But its no reason for VS9 because cant build project and Aurora require at least VS10.

My question is >>
Maybe we can make extlib > Aurora for Thor with C++9 support?
If yes exlpain me how do it.

C++9 doesn't exist, there's C++98, C++03, C++11 and C++14.
Then there's VC++9 which is VS 2008 and VC++ 10 which is VS 2010.

Now that we have this out of the way, I don't think someone will adjust Aurora, just so you can keep using your 6 year old IDE. You should rather ask yourself why you hang on to VS 2008 so much, when there's VS 2010, VS 2012, VS 2014 or even VS 2015. ;)

Please don't write me an e-mail and post here.

As mentioned in my reply, you can't use Visual Studio 2008 with Aurora, because the compiler supports no C++11. Besides, the library uses new language features in so many places that it would be pointless to backport it to C++98.
