Compiling on Debian Stretch (9.x)

Note: This page is outdated due to C++14 migration.

Since OpenMiner uses C++17, I highly recommend to upgrade to a supported system:

• ArchLinux
• Debian Buster (10.x)
• Any Ubuntu verion from Trusty (14.04)
• Any distrubution packaged with GCC 7.x / 8.x

If you really want to use Debian Stretch (9.x), then I highly recommend to do this in a chroot or in a virtual machine, and not directly in your system.
