clang 3.8 make file fails

Question

After scratching my head for over 3 hours I finally gave up and decided ask for you guys help.

I have a few files, which is gonna compile into one executable.

With the -stdlib=libc++ flag, I will get

/usr/include/c++/v1/string:1938:44: error: 'basic_string<_CharT, _Traits, _Allocator>' is missing exception specification 'noexcept(is_nothrow_copy_constructible<allocator_type>::value)'
basic_string<_CharT, _Traits, _Allocator>::basic_string(const allocator_type& __a)
                                           ^
/usr/include/c++/v1/string:1326:40: note: previous declaration is here
    _LIBCPP_INLINE_VISIBILITY explicit basic_string(const allocator_type& __a)

I did some search and as another SO question susggests. changed to -stdlib=libstdc++ , I get a Whole lots of output in the console.

This is just the last part of the information spitted out.

clean :
    -rm -f *.o $(EXENAME)

Operating system is Ubuntu 16.04LTS, with all necessary dependencies installed(Or I think I correctly installed).

You need to add one of the following pairs to your build line:

• -L/usr/lib -lstdc++

• -L/usr/lib -llibc++
