c++ with plugin-template

Hi,
I wrote a gimp-plugin, using plugin-template 1.3.3 which supports gcc as default compiler, thus my plugin has to be compiled with c++ compiler. As I didn't know how to set up all the automake/autoconfigure-stuff, I temporary simply changed the CC-Variable in the /src/Makefile, but this is insufficient, I guess... Could you please give me some hints, how to change the compiler in the plugin-templates configure/automake-files, so that I could pack and release my plugin?

Thanks, Christoph Lutz

Hi,

The key file here is configure.in. It contains the line

Right. If a C++ compiler is supposed to be used, you will have to use AC_PROG_CXX. See also

http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf-2.57/html_mono/autoconf.html#SEC65

and

I have recently worked with the gimp-plugin-template myself and found it quite useful, so feel free to e-mail me if you have questions, or take a look at the "magiceye" plug-in (in the registry) to see how I have done it.

Best regards, Markus.

While we are at it: I noticed that configure.in lacks the typical

AC_LANG_C

line often used in conjunction with AC_PROG_CC to perform additional tests of the C compiler. Adding it might cause autoconf to work around some obscure errors of broken compilers (perhaps broken optimizations etc.).

Best regards, Markus.

Hello,

thank you all for your hints! Now, I am reading the autoconf-documentation and I'm very impressed... It's a great tool :-)
