Compilation fails using std03 and std14 #1321
Description
I downloaded 0.8.7 from the main site. The CMake file came preconfigured to use std03, and when I attempt to compile using that standard I get compilation errors related to OpenGL which requires that I switch to std11 or std14. Doing that however gives me these errors:

It looks like the code is trying to use a ptr() method on a std::string object which doesn't exist in the C++11 (and later) versions of the standard library. Because of the OpenGL problem though I can't use std03.
I'm using g++ 13.2.0 and cmake 3.28.3 on Xubuntu (the latest release).
