<div dir="ltr">We could add a logic to check for unsupported or supported compilers. Which do you folks think would be best? As far as I know, when we drop support for a particular compiler, it doesn't mean that the compiler can no longer be used to compile VTK. So if we put a list of supported compilers, we would say that other compilers may work but are not actively supported and tested. If we put a list of unsupported compilers, those should be ones we know do not work... Otherwise the list can get out of hand quickly.<div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Jun 10, 2015 at 9:16 AM, Casey Goodlett <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:casey.goodlett@kitware.com" target="_blank">casey.goodlett@kitware.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">I have recently used visual studio 2005 which would be dropped by this.<div><br></div><div>Is it possible to add a check in the CMakeLists.txt to provide a warning or error if I try to use an unsupported MSVC with VTK 6.3?

</span>Once my conservative patch is merged, I'll do another pass looking at what remaining workarounds exist for old compilers/OSes and post it for review/discussion.<br>
