Dear All,
compiling host-libusb requires gcc >=4.9 (due to _Thread_local ), which
causes autobuilder failures on older distros (like Ubuntu 14.04), see the
linked autobuild report below. Also the target build needs >= 4.9, but it's
already being handled by Fabric's patch.
One way to fix the host build to bump the minimal GCC version to 4.9 in
'support/dependencies/dependencies.mk', although I'm not sure it's desirable,
as it's not only kicks out Ubuntu 14.04 (which is EOL anyway), but also CentOS
7 (which is supported until 2024). What is the public opinion on this?
Thx, regards
Zoltan Gyarmati
