Googletest 1.13 requires at least C++14

2023-06-22 Thread Steven Robbins
Hi, Please CC me in any reply. A new googletest package for 1.13.0 just hit unstable and I now realise it requires at least C++14. From autopkgtests, I noted at least one build failure because of this. I'm hoping most code can simply opt to build at C++14 or later. However, I'm willing to

Hi, I've built the ITK package on my AMD64 machine without trouble, but the 32-bit build is failing with the error below. The errors seem to point to using SSE instructions. Is there a recommended set of flags to use when building for x86? I tried "-march=i686" but it gives the same error.
