   I'm not a C(++) programmer and I don't know nothing about the different   
   versions and how to port to newer compilers. I somehow managed to get Squish   
   build with trial and error and it seems to work fine. I also see that the max   
   binary was build too, but I'm pretty sure I just changed stuff until it   
   compiled and didn't care at all about correctness. I don't remember if I tried   
   to install and run it, I was mainly interested in Squish.   
      
   This was done on a 32-bit Raspberry. I think I tried it on a 64-bit machine   
   and it didn't compile at all (but maybe it was caused by something else).   
      
   My gut feeling is that an experienced C coder could fix the warnings and   
   errors easily. Or maybe it just needs the right compiler flag? E.g. Maximus   
   defines it's own nullptr which is later introduced by C++11 (in 2011).   
      
   Squish and Max is still nice software and it's a bummer that there is no easy   
   way to run it on Linux.   
      
   There is an open issue on github:   
      
   https://github.com/sdudley/maximus/issues/1   
      
   I can send you the diff if you want to try to compile it, but as I wrote, I   
   don't think my changes are proper fixes and it would be better if someone who   
   knows C++ would fix it.
