How to Enable C++11 Features in Codelite - c++

Question

The following code compiles and runs in Xcode 5 and in Visual Studio 2013. I am interested in trying out Codelite, but Codelite will not compile the following program (a problem since I am working with scoped enums in my project). As far as I understand it, Codelite is using the same compiler as Xcode.
Is the code valid per C++11? Why is Codelite unable to compile it?
#include <iostream>
namespace abc
{
namespace xyz
{
enum class SampleEnum
{
SomeValue = 0,
SomeOtherValue = 1
};
}
}
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
abc::xyz::SampleEnum e = abc::xyz::SampleEnum::SomeValue;
return 0;
}
Here is the build output from Codelite. In case it's garbled, it's pointing to the word "SampleEnum" in the instantiation of the variable and saying "expected a class or namespace".
/bin/sh -c 'make -j8 -e -f Makefile'

Answer 1

It is necessary to pass -std=c++11 to the compiler to enable C++11 features. Here are the steps to do so in Codelite:
Right click on the project in the workspace view.
Select Settings near the bottom of this pop-up menu. Common Settings->Compiler->C++ Compiler Options
Click into the semicolon delimited list of compiler switches to reveal elipses and click on the elipses.
Click the checkbox for -std=c++11

Answer 2

If you are using C++11 extensions, compilers want it to be flagged. Without it they may throw warnings and errors. That's because some of C++11 changes are not backward-compatible, e.g. the use of auto.
For example, in gcc you should have
gcc -std=c++11
Check if your compiler shouldn't have such parameter as well!

I suppose this is because that your default std version is not c++11. To change to c++11, if you are using your terminal, you should type in the following command:
g++ yourfile.cpp -std=c++11
