Hi Everyone, I am trying to determine if Boost 1.63 (or 1.62) will work on GCC 5.4.0 on Linux. I can see in release notes that Boost 1.62 was tested on Linux with "GCC 5.4.1" (I am not aware that v 5.4.1 even exists). However in release notes for 1.63 there is no GCC 5.4 listed for Linux (only for Android).

Does anyone know if there is any reason to suspect that Boost 1.63 may have problems on Linux with GCC 5.4.0 ?

Eh, why don't you give it a try? GCC 5 should be supported. -- Olaf

I did not run all tests, but all libraries built successfully when I tested on my machine (buildtype=complete). My software does of course not need all of Boost but I did not encounter any problems when running my software with 1.63 yet. I didn't have problems with the last releases and GCC 5.4 so I don't expect any big problems hidden in 1.63. Just give it a try. Norbert
