+- g++ version 5.1 or higher is required for full C++11 support. CMake release compile scripts, as well as CodeBlocks build environment for debug builds is included.

+### To do a static build for a system without gcc 5.1+
+```
+    cmake -DCMAKE_LINK_STATIC=ON .
+    make install
+```
+Note - cmake caches variables, so if you want to do a dynamic build later you need to specify '-DCMAKE_LINK_STATIC=OFF'
