clang and gcc compilation errors

Getting these errors with clang:

CXXFLAGS="-std=c++03" fixed this for me.

@henrikhodne @zcbenz Any idea what could be causing this error?

I don't have much experience with C++ compilation so I'm not sure I understand how everything works. What could be the cause of that error? Compilers on Travis too old? How can I debug it? What would you do?

My .travis.yml is similar to the one from node-spellchecker. See what I've tried here (my .travis.yml file history).

Thanks!

Nevermind, I fixed it <3

I used electron-gyp from the beginning to install the modules. https://travis-ci.org/Aluxian/Whatsie/builds/118535163
