is c++11 a requirement? #6

If I write an R package that uses rwinlib/gdal2, is it required for that package to use C++ code compiled with c++11? Users have asked for sf to support R 3.2.x, which would require C++ w/o c++11.

Yeah that won't work. R 3.2.x on windows has gcc 4.6.3 which is too old to build most of the libs.

R 3.2 is end of life in a month when R 3.4 is released. At that point CRAN will stop supporting it as well. People should just move forward and upgrade R if they want to use this. We really don't have the resources to provide legacy support for people that want to run an old version of R.

OK, make sense, thanks!

However note that you can support R 3.2, just not on Windows :)
