Hi,

I'd like to find out if anyone has installed H15 on the newly released Ubuntu 16.04 LTS ? Any issues e.g. building the HDK examples with different compilers that comes with Ubuntu 16.04 etc

I am just checking before I upgrade my laptop.

Cheers

Ubuntu 16 comes with gcc5.3, I'm not sure how compatible that is with plug-in development. Maybe try it in a VM? But that's not quite the same.

Good point. Thanks for the heads up. Will plan on installing required GCC 4.8.2 compiler should I decide to upgrade to Ubuntu 16.04

I've just compiled the SOP_Star example under Slackware 14.2 RC2 which also uses GCC 5.3.0.
LLVM/Clang 3.8.0 generates the following warning:
bash-4.3$ hcustom SOP_Star.C
Making SOP_Star.o and /home/mats/houdini15.5/dso/SOP_Star.so from SOP_Star.C
In file included from SOP_Star.C:29:
./SOP_Star.h:69:6: warning: all paths through this function will call itself
      [-Winfinite-recursion]
                                 {
                                 ^
1 warning generated.

Compiling HDK samples with LLVM/Clang 3.8.0 doesn't seem to work.
