In R14.0.12, C++11 dialect was set as default for both automake and CMake. Together with the release R14.1.0 there is allowed to use C++11 in code. Therefore, TQt >= R14.1.0 now requires to enforce C++11 dialect if an older compiler is used. > I am using build scripts that are not robust or well tested for anything > outside the most recent Slackware versions.

We always try to keep the code for compatibility with older versions, because we still provide packages for older versions of distribution. Very good changes have occurred for build times, especially for CMake if used together with ninja-build. In this case, processors with multiple cores are very well used and building can be significantly faster than it used to be in the past. Cheers -- Slávek
