Hi Chris,

Sorry for the very long lag time replying to you. I tried adding those flags to
both the Makefile for emulators/visualboyadvance-m, and later, /etc/make.conf
to make my compiler c++11 compliant, but ran into the same issues. Happy to
retry with gcc5 or gcc6, both of which I have installed. (But I normally just
let clang do its thing unless a Port specifically requires gcc). It still
coughs up the same errors, from glibmm-2.4, which I'm a little loathe to mess
around with. (I know my limits, and they are many!)

Given the very minor version change, I'm rather content to just leave
visualboyadvance-m at its current version, and exclude it from portmaster
upgrades with an -x flag, until glibmm is updated to at least 2.6. I don't know
when the timeline is for that but it seems that would be the better long-term
fix if we're to maintain any level of "parity" with popular GNU/Linux apps
built around newer toolkits.

Sorry for the trouble. I hope you're not forced to drop support for the ports
you maintain. I rather love FreeBSD, and have never found a Linux distro that
hit the sweet spot the same way for me. I even had a brief love affair with
OpenSolaris until Oracle killed that. Then back to FreeBSD because it's just
more fun.
