Getting this error on ubuntu 14.04.
error: unrecognized command line option ‘-std=gnu++14’

I have already tried updating my build-essentials. Any advice?

[gagiD]

Which version of gcc you have?
Can check with:

gcc --version

[ChrisJW]

@gagiD gcc (Ubuntu 4.8.4-2ubuntu1~14.04) 4.8.4

[gagiD]

You need at least 4.9 version or don't use C++14 if you can.

P.S.
There is http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/gcc-4.9-base package.

@gagiD updated to 4.9 and everything compiles thanks!
