 ## Usage
 
+This library has been written in C++17. It should work out of the box with any modern version of GCC, Clang and MSVC, but you may need to [set](https://gcc.gnu.org/projects/cxx-status.html#cxx17) [some](https://clang.llvm.org/cxx_status.html) [flags](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/build/reference/std-specify-language-standard-version?view=vs-2019) to C++17.
+
 This is an header-only library, the only needed step to use is is to make the content of the "sources" directory visible by your compiler and to `#include "cpp-sdl2/sdl.hpp"` instead of `SDL.h`. Then you just link against the SDL2 and SDL_image libraries as usual.
 
 By default, the code will throw exception in case of an SDL_Error. The Exception will contain the string returned by `SDL_GetError()`
