[Dev-C++] Compiler options : g++ vs gcc

[er <erw...@gm...>]

Hello,

When I compile a program (Win32 console) I get a lot of

[ Link error ] unreferenced std::string:: ....

which an error which based on posts I saw elsewhere (stackoverflow etc.) 
can be solved by compiling with g++ rather than gcc.

Where in the dev-c++ IDE and how do I specify g++?

I know it's possible because I have another project that shows g++ exe 
in the compile log rather than gcc.

Thanks.

gcc is used normally with the C language normally with the file extension of *.c, g++ is normally used with C++ language normally with the file extension of *.cpp.  So I would assume that if you were to change the file name from *.c to *.cpp it would use g++ instead of gcc, but I have not tested that.

Thanks, but these are cpp files.

When you create new project select C++ and not C that's all.

Switching existing project to C++ is little bit complicated. You can
set individual files to compile as C++ in the Project Options\Files Tab
- select the file and check Compile file as C++. However there is
probably no similar switch for linking. In wxDev-C++ close the project
and reopen it and it should link as C++. In the original Dev-C++ close
the project, open ProjectName.dev file in the project folder and change
IsCpp=0 to IsCpp=1. Reopen the project in IDE and build.

OK, thanks.
