https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D209945 --- Comment #1 from Mathieu Simon <freebsd@simweb.ch> --- Dear maintainer I sent the message too early so sorry for the confusion. It sounds odd but I was having some fun on some PPC64 hardware (iMac G5) wh= ere I wanted to build X11 which at some odd moment requires jsoncpp and fails currently. I think the option it doesn't like is that it tests for the FreeBSD version= and if it finds that it is on 10.x or later it assumes we have a modern compile= r in the base system.=20 In many and most common cases that is absolutely true, but PPC(64) doesn't = ship with LLVM/clang in the base system but some older GCC 4.2.1 which doesn't support C++11. Same applies to other exotic architecture like SPARC. I don't know what the best idea would be to work around this issue: - Have a check that if PPC or PPC64 is found that no C++11 flag is set (then again all other architectures like ... sparc ... for what I know ma= ybe others too) would have the same issue. - Have a check for the compiler at some point and see if it supports C++11 - Or if possible check for the compiler - if it's too old/certain architect= ure, depend on a modern compiler from ports instead. I think the first option would be easiest for what I can tell but it's not = the cleanest. (Yes it is foolish to run X.org on PPC64 hardware these days but I wanted to see how far I could get) Regards Mathieu --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
