Re: More on C++11 requirements

If setting `CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD` doesn't work to get `-std=c++11` or `-std=gnu++11` into the CXX_FLAGS, then maybe the version of CMake is < 3.1.0?

The variable `CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD` was added to CMake in the capacity of setting (e.g.) `-std=c++11` as of CMake 3.1.0. The code would be something like:

{{{

# If cmake version is < 3.1, explicitly set C/C++ standard to use;
# this CMake doesn't internally use CMAKE_C*_STANDARD variables.

IF(${CMAKE_VERSION} VERSION_LESS 3.1)
    SET(CMAKE_C_FLAGS "${CMAKE_C_FLAGS} -std=c${CMAKE_C_STANDARD}")
    SET(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} -std=c++${CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD}")
ENDIF()

}}}

Worth a try! - MLD

Playing with a project (gr-radio_astro from WVURAIL:

Now, the interesting thing is that my GCC appears to have support for 
c++11  (since -std=c++11 works as a command arg), and despite the
   fact that the CMakelists.txt file for the project includes:

########################################################################
# Compiler specific setup
########################################################################
if(CMAKE_COMPILER_IS_GNUCXX AND NOT WIN32)
     #http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Visibility
     add_definitions(-fvisibility=hidden)
     set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 11)
endif()

There doesn't appear to be any use of -std=c++11   in the Make files
generated, and one gets compile errors for source that includes
   C++11 features/syntax.

Are there extra "sets" in the CMakeLists.txt that I should be using to
force it to use the c++11 compiler options?

Cheers
