This I don't understand, if the standard can't be detected then that's possibly going to cause some problems later on, no? And after 11 to 20 are included this shouldn't happen anyway? Didn't ROOT change not too long ago how they define the standard? That now would build fine but with maybe different standards in ROOT and podio.

IIUC an undefined ROOT_CXX_STANDARD would be caught by this:

podio/CMakeLists.txt

Lines 101 to 103 in 76990a9

if(ROOT_CXX_STANDARD VERSION_LESS 17)
message(FATAL_ERROR "You are trying to build podio against a version of ROOT that has not been built with a sufficient c++ standard. podio requires c++17 or higher")
endif()

Which would at least tell people what a potential problem could be rather, than a rather cryptic error about not being able to detect a c++ standard.

The ROOT_CXX_STANDARD is only available from 6.32 onwards. So we still need this determination. From 6.30 onwards c++17 is required. I can't remember now when they switched the default c++ standard to 17, but given that I got an email today that someone ran into this issue with 6.28, I suppose not too long ago.

Ah yes I was thinking cxx_std had been changed but it was ROOT_CXX_STANDARD: #540.
