Welcome back @Fifi.
I think version v3.6 works for you because it targets C++11, which is a pretty old C++ standard. Unfortunately, Apple ties Xcode versions tightly to macOS releases, which makes things worse. You can't just install the latest Command Line Tools for Xcode and call it a day.
Xcode 10.1 supports C++14 reasonably well (I think), so you could try PE v3.11.0 and see if that works for you. It's the last version that targets C++14.
Honestly, if I had one of these iMacs with Intel graphics, I'd probably just ditch macOS entirely and install Linux. But that's just me.
