Error when building using GCC 4.9 on Chrome OS

I believe the fix is to also test for -std=c++1y for C++14 support.

Actually, the problem is in autoconf (not really surprised). When it tests for C++14 support, it checks for strict compliance, even though ucg doesn't use many of the C++14 features. Maybe it should just check for what is uses?

Yeah, this is where I get super jealous of Python's:

from __future__ import blah

Post-C++11 is making some baby steps in this direction with the WG-21 feature testing recommendations, but the interim is a bumpy ride due to different levels of compiler compliance, and we still don't end up with a "from future" feature so we can easily skip at least some of the autoconf. But yeah, I definitely need to clean up some of this.

I haven't even looked at Chrome OS (and per Wikipedia, I can't unless I buy a Google tablet or some such.) Can I assume Chromium is close enough, and that I can get an ISO of it somewhere?

That's actually what I'm using! ;)

You can download a USB disk image here and flash it to a USB. Then, boot it up and install Chromebrew, which will give you Git and GCC out-of-the-box.

Be wary, though: do NOT write the image to any kind of hard drive. Tried that twice, and both times (most recent was Friday) have ended with me breaking out partition recovery tools...
