Title: forcing code blocks to compile with g++
Post by: jarro_2783 on April 20, 2006, 10:21:52 am

I have got a c++ program that uses a c file. One of my c++ functions calls a function from this c file. Codeblocks compiles this c file with gcc and everything else with g++. This makes the .o files incompatible with each other and I get undefined reference to function when it links it.
Is there any way to force code blocks to always g++ for this particular project?

I could just compile the file separately and then it would never need to recompile it ever again, but it could still be good to know.

rename the file.c to file.cpp -> then g++ will compile it

ok, thanks, so that won't break anything?

I just found out something, if you right click on the file and press properties then go to advanced, there is a box that says compiler variable. If you change that to CPP it compiles it with g++.
