QGIS does not build under 10.6.8

[a3k@…]

Hi there,

I was not able to build QGIS 2.14.x under OS X 10.6.8 (I know it's really old but we need to keep it for some reasons...) And unfortunately I have no idea what to do :-(

In the future, please Cc the port maintainers (port info --maintainers qgis), if any.

There's nothing I can do, as QGIS uses C++ constructs that are recognised by the old compilers. What you can try is install a newer compiler, such as clang-3.7 and compile QGIS using:

port -v install qgis configure.compiler=macports-clang-3.7

as referenced here: ​https://trac.macports.org/wiki/UsingTheRightCompiler

Closing this one. Reopen a report if you hit the same wall with 2.16
