Hi all,
with the latest two commits in the git repository
( 4e3838f6907bbdf71e69d6791447b037e1c5a38a and
38824862442b1ab2ff9a3c1e29edba25aadcfceb ), Freecell Solver has
dropped support for C compilers that support the new C99 standard
(
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C99 ) as well as some GCC extensions
(
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Compiler_Collection ). Most notably,
one will no longer be able to build it with Microsoft Visual C++
(
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_C%2B%2B ), which does not support
C99, nor most of the GCC extensions. The CMake process now detects if
one is building using MSVC and if so emits a fatal error.
It is still going to be possible to build it on Windows 32-bit / Windows
64-bit using GCC,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clang and other more
modern compilers, but, as far as I'm concerned, Microsoft should be more
considerate of the developers' needs, so I will find it worthwhile to
support them.
