I'm trying to install grub-customizer on Kali-Linux 2017.1 64 Bits and always stop at the error below:

I'm following the steps in the README file that comes inside the compressed folder of the installer.

The first error "/usr/include/glibmm-2.4/glibmm/variant.h:2012:24: error: ‘std::index_sequence’ has not been declared" reads like a coding problem in variant.h to me. Might be a newer version that corrects the problem. If not, I'd report it to whomever develops grub-customizer.

I also think that's it.
I have already uninstalled the old versions and installed the latest ones and still have this error.
I'll send the log to the developer.
Thank you!

I contacted the developer, and he said it was referring to the minimal version of C ++ used by G ++.
He told me the following:

-----
You can fix this by opening the file "CMakeLists.txt" and replacing:
"-std=c++11" by "-std=c++14".

and I have to find a general solution.

----

All right now!
The tip is for the forum.

Glad you got it working and thanks for posting the fix :)
