Does Hyprland 0.50 require gcc-15?

[abc-nix]

(First, sorry for my English)

I have been building Hyprland on Debian testing for over a year. The most recent was when I repackaged v0.49 the 12th of July (to build with the newest aquamarine version).

Hyprland 0.50 doesn't build for me. In the build process, I think these lines provide the reason:

[...]

../hyprctl/main.cpp:271:78: error: no match for ‘operator+’ (operand types are ‘std::__cxx11::basic_string<char>’ and ‘std::string_view’ {aka ‘std::basic_string_view<char>’})

(there was no dependency change announcement on the release notice, but I decided to re-build all dependencies in case there is a small difference).

I have tested many things, but I still get the same error. I have reached the conclusion that gcc-14 is missing the newest instructions for the Hyprland code to build, so I come here to ask:

Does v0.50.0 require gcc-15?

I searched the discussions for this, but I didn't find any clear statement that gcc-15 is needed (just clang-19, which I do have installed). If this is correct, please update the release notes to warn users/builders/packagers (gcc-15 is still in "experimental" for Debian).

If this is incorrect, and Hyprland 0.50 can be build with gcc-14, I will explore what could be the issue on my end.

Thanks for your time.

Does v0.50.0 require gcc-15?

Yes, #11041

Thanks, @vaxerski, for your time. I must have written gcc incorrectly when searching. Sorry for that.

Have a nice day.
