Description glenn_nelson 2008-09-09 17:58:29 UTC

Need to compile *.c files with g++. Project settings have the compiler grayed out and stuck on gcc. There is no clean 
way to switch to g++, but I have workarounds. See issue #146253 (http://www.netbeans.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=146253
).
The last suggested workaround is to setup a new tool collection. The problem with this is that it modifies 
configuration.xml and adds the name of the new tool collection to <compilerSet>. What happens if someone else uses the 
project and they don't have the same tool collection? Will the project load and build?

Well, I'd say that solution suggested in issue #146253 is a clean one. Its only disadvantage is the requirement to edit
each file's properties individually. Implementing ability to apply properties to multiple files at a time should resolve
this issue. See IZ #145951.

I agree.
