Answer 3

A simple way is to write:

-std=c++11

in the Other Options section of the compiler flags. You could do this on a per-project basis (Project -> Build Options), and/or set it as a default option in the Settings -> Compilers part.

Some projects may require -std=gnu++11 which is like C++11 but has some GNU extensions enabled.

If using g++ 4.9, you can use -std=c++14 or -std=gnu++14.

Answer 4

Use g++ -std=c++11 -o <output_file_name> <file_to_be_compiled>
