Re: enable c++

[Hungwin Chen]

By changing 

 

    project_OBJC_FILES = main.m

 

to 

 

    project_OBJCC_FILES = main.mm

 

and install GNU Objective-C++ compiler fix my problem. 

 

Applogize for not being able to expressing my question precisely. 

 

Thanks for patentinetly helping fix my problem.

You appear to be asking the wrong question.  The question that you want to ask is 'how do I specify C++ or Objective-C++ files in a GNUstep Make GNUmakefile?'  The useful information that you could have provided up until this point was how you are specifying the files currently. 

The answer to the question that you mean is to use project_OBJCC_FILES= instead of project_OBJC_FILES (where project is the name of your project).

With this scenario, all cpp related files need preprocessor directive added, which looks not a good way to compile a c++ project.So I am learning how to enable c++ so that the project can be compiled without error messages being thrown.
