@xoft: regarding commit f58d44e, you might want to watch scott meyers talk on the six different sets of rules for type deduction in c++ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQxj20X-tIU

I can't compile MCServer with my raspberry pi. (Use clang and clang++ as compilers)

What's wrong?

/home/minecraft/MCServer/src/Generating/Trees.cpp:424:17: error: initialization
of non-aggregate type 'const Vector3i' (aka 'const Vector3<int>') with an
initializer list
{ -1, 1, 1 }, { -1, 1, -1 },

Try using GCC.

[archshift]

Specifically, a newer version of GCC.

[xoft]

Is there a known "minimum version" of gcc and of clang that supports our c++11 features? We might want to document that somewhere.

[sphinxc0re]

Why don't we just take the newest version and put a + behind it? I think GCC 4.8.3 is the version that supports most of the features of C++11

[bearbin]

We know it works with gcc 4.6 and clang 3.4, as those are what travis uses.

[xoft]

@sphinxc0re That wouldn't be good, as there are many Linux platforms that don't have the newest latest compilers available. For example the RasPi has gcc 4.6.3.

[xoft]

Hmmm, everyone was so excited about moving to c++11 and now Travis fails on us because it doesn't have full c++11 support - it doesn't seem to have std::chrono::steady_clock.
