Subject: Tried compiling WWIV without C++17 directives

On a hunch, I tried compiling WWIV after commenting out c++17 in Common.cmake.


This would be the following lines in cmake/Common.cmake:


set (CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 17)
set (CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD_REQUIRED ON)


I simply added # at the beginning of each of those lines (9-10), then ran
cmake-config.sh in my build directory, defaulting to gcc/g++14.


I ran the usual compile command: cmake --build . -j`nproc`


and it successfully built and ran.

I will try a different setup to test this further.
