lr-bsnes will not compile due to >GCC 7.0 requirement (Ubuntu 18.04.4 w/GCC 7.5.0)

[movisman]

Hi there,

I noticed on the script for lr-bsnes that @mitu made some changes a couple of days ago to pull a newer/more updated version of bsnes, as the previous one had not been updated for a long time.

However, when I went to update from source, I got an error saying my OS needed to be running GCC 7.0 in order to compile.

I am using Ubuntu 18.04.4 with all updates, and when I run 'gcc --version' from terminal, I get this:
gcc (Ubuntu 7.5.0-3ubuntu1~18.04) 7.5.0

Which indicates to me that I have 7.5.0 installed, which exceeds the 7.0 requirement.

Do I need to have any other additional packages installed to allow this to build / meet requirements?

Thanks!

Thanks for the bug-report - we'll get it fixed.

Great - thanks a lot and no worries.
I'll retest once your pull request has been merged and report back.

Thanks!

Actually, temporarily I decided to just edit the file to match your pull request to test, and it compiles absolutely fine now.

Thanks!

Just to confirm I had email confirmation that the change was merged into master, so post-update I tested again anyway and all works fine.

Thanks for sorting this so quickly.

Cheers
