Compile error Ubuntu 16.04

1

This is what I get when trying to compile with 16.04
Then I removed line 23 in wfview.pro that references -faligned but just got more different errors.
Perhaps16.04 is too old?

Maybe gcc ++ is old.
Please update to the newest one possible.

The issue is gcc version 6 does not support -faligned-new. Now, this feature isn’t necessarily required, and I think you had a good idea there to just disable it and try again.

What errors did you get the next time around, without -faligned-new?

Also, I think Ubuntu 16 is pretty old, you may run into other errors even if you get it compiled.

Ubuntu Linux 16.04 LTS reached the end of its five-year LTS window on April 30th 2021 and is no longer supported by its vendor, Canonical except through a paid annual Extended Security Maintenance (ESM).

like windows 7: don’t.

Thanks for the reality check. I was hoping it could be done as this laptop has years of work invested in making various programs work as I wanted. I installed an earlier version of wfview on a 20.04 but was having trouble with the audio config. I will try that again with the latest.

Thanks for all the good work

being an linux/infra engineer I understand your point.

what you could do is - if you have a space - put a new version and see what you can copy over and fix. If you don’t have a spare, spin up a vm and do it there.

My env (own, home) has the newest version of as well as the previous version, Not older; and for testing I do spin up a vm at times to do the “next version”).

In the mean time you can work things out by removing the compile time flag and see if that builds.
