How to adjust compiler settings

[spacerocket]

Hello,

My current compiler (g++) doesn`t allow to compile C++11....

Any idea about how could I change the settings for it to follow the C++11 standard?

If you compiler doesn't allow it, then a setting won't change that, unless you didn't even try "man g++".

Otherwise, see http://gcc.gnu.org/projects/cxx0x.html and compaere with the relase of GCC on your system. Maybe you need to upgrade.

I think, but I don't remember, that I looked for C++11 in synaptic, added it and just added a flag to the path -- but I did that in my IDE setup. Not at home right now to look.

I think from the terminal the basic syntax would be


g++ -std=c++11 your_file.cpp -o your_program

plus whatever other flags you'd normally use.
