What's your c++ version. This package needs atleast c++ 11 to compile.

[PawanWagh]

I have c++ 11, see this

-- Building a C++11 test project to see if your compiler supports C++11
-- C++11 activated.
-- Building a C++11 test project to see if your compiler supports C++11
-- C++11 activated.
-- Configuring done
-- Generating done

Then also I have updated to c++ 11 and now build fails with error c++: error: unrecognized command line option '-stdlib=libc++'.

Hm I am not sure how to set up a working c++ environment with stdlib on mac, but on travis it worked right out of the box with xcode version 8.3 I think.

Otherwise googling the issue should give you quite some hints about how to fix this.

Ok, thanks.

@PawanWagh did you ever find a resolution to the original issue? All my deps are up to date, and I've never had this issue with other compiled packages.
