no longer need to support pre-c++11 build systems, let newer systems use a newer C++ standard

I assume this is the case, otherwise if statements are needed in the cmake to build in later systems using c++17 or simi/lar, for instance with c++11 building on Ubuntu 22.04 results in errors like this:

/usr/include/log4cxx/boost-std-configuration.h:10:18: error: ‘shared_mutex’ in namespace ‘std’ does not name a type
   10 |     typedef std::shared_mutex shared_mutex;

Please not that this repository is only a copy of the official driver. So if you're compiling from source, you might want the official one from their downloads page.

That being said, I don't have anything against this change.

If this is ok to merge please do.

Is there an effort to incorporate changes from new official releases and combining them with commits here? Understandable if it isn't a priority for anyone, I just want something that works with the sensors I have and want the least effort way to setup on regular systems and into my github action builds (like a public github repo).

There are a lot of outdated links (some of them a result of the acquisition by Movella) so I'm not sure where the official driver is. I looked a little on https://www.movella.com/support/software-documentation, maybe it's in Download MT Software Suite 2022.0 for Linux.

I believe we opened some tickets for trivial fixes in the past, but without any luck. So no.
I'm still curious why you compile manually if you have apt-installable packages available 🙂
