    I would like VisualGDB to use g++ instead of gcc on .c files. How do I change to Project Properties to do that? (I know I can manually edit the Makefile, but I need to be able to do this on many projects, so I can’t do that.)

    In other words, I want make to use $(CXX) instead of $(CC) on .c files, and I want to avoid having to hand edit the Makefile to do that.

    I think I found an answer to my own question. If I’m incorrect, or if someone has a better or more elegant answer, please post.

    My answer is to do the following:
    In the VisualGDB Project Properties, under Makefile settings, under Build tools, in Additional arguments, I put:

    CC=$(CXX)

    Hi,

    That should work. Another option would be to add “-x c++” to the CFLAGS to explicitly tell GCC to treat the file as a .cpp file.

    Thanks! I think I like that option better.
