Hi, the problem is not the MSVC compiler but the configure script. If you just remove the requirement from configure.ac, then it works fine. I always comment out the line AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX_11 and it works. MSVC seems to accept C++11 by default. For some reason, in spite of that the configure test fails on MSVC.

This is with MSVC 14 (Visual Studio 2015) [1] which is quite recent.
The '#ifdef _MSC_VER' in include/cln/number.h shows that there is some interest in having MSVC support, no?
Hmm, I'm confused about the status of MSVC: Jan Rheinländer has proposed f725e59b specifically for Win64, but that's clearly a C++11 language feature. Is a compiler that came out in 2014 really recent? Visual Studio 2017 claims to be C++17, after all. I have no Windows machine.
And I just committed the second patch relying on C++11. :-/
-richy.
