Need to enable C++11 in Codeblocks

Question

I need to enable C++11 in Codeblocks 16.

Several tutorials explain that all one needs to do is select the "Have g++ follow the C++11 ISO C++ language standard -std=c++11 option in "Settings > Compiler... > Compiler Settings > Compiler Flags", however such an option does not appear in my Compiler Flags:

Others suggest just pasting -std=c++11 into "Other compiler options". However this doesn't allow me to build my code and shows this in the "Build Messages" bar:

I am using Codeblocks 16, with the GNU GCC Compiler that comes with it on Windows 7.

Answer 1

You could always just select the -std=c++0x option, but another solution is to install more recent mingw version since the problem is obviously the compiler, not Code::Blocks

Answer 2

This is how Code::Blocks 16.1 with the newest included version of GCC (TDM-GCC 4.9.2) is supposed to look like.

You can check your GCC version with the command

gcc --version

gcc.exe is located under ./CodeBlocks/MinGW/bin

When downloading from CodeBlock's website, make sure you download codeblocks-16.01mingw-setup.exe.
