Feature Request: setup.sh sets correct computing environment for compilation

[bdorney]

Brief summary of issue

Based on format of other repositories would expect:

cd $BUILD_HOME/xhal
source setup.sh
make

To compile the repository and correctly create the required shared libraries. However when attempting obtain the following error message when calling make:

% make
g++ -O0 -g3 -fno-inline -Wall -fPIC -pthread -m64 -std=gnu++14 -I/opt/xdaq/include -I/opt/rh/devtoolset-6/root/usr/include -I/afs/cern.ch/user/d/dorney/scratch0/CMS_GEM/CMS_GEM_DAQ/xhal/xhal/include -L/opt/xdaq/lib -L/afs/cern.ch/user/d/dorney/scratch0/CMS_GEM/CMS_GEM_DAQ/xhal/xhal/lib/x86_64 -llog4cplus -lxerces-c  -c -o src/common/utils/XHALXMLParser.o src/common/utils/XHALXMLParser.cpp
cc1plus: error: unrecognized command line option "-std=gnu++14"
make: *** [src/common/utils/XHALXMLParser.o] Error 1

Unclear which g++ version should be used. Based on this link it should be either v4.9 or v5.X.

Request that setup.sh correctly configures this by default, and anything else that would required to successfully compile.

Types of issue

• [ ] Bug report (report an issue with the code)
• [X] Feature request (request for change which adds functionality)

Expected Behavior

Able to compile the repo after calling setup.sh

Current Behavior

Cannot compile the repo.

Context (for feature requests)

Would be helpful when debugging/testing/developing python based scan applications for v3 electronics if we could compile xhal and make tweaks as needed (which would result in new PR's).

Adding required compilers to the $PATH is a responsibility of either PC administrator or a developer him(her)self. This is specific to the PC where you are going to compile, so can't be made a part of the repository
