Hello Chris,
Roland pointed out that I may be using an incorrect flag to include the c++11 standards so I'll review that as well. I also attached my config file in case that helps.
You should be able to make it work by adding the option I provided to CXXFLAGS:
CXXFLAGS = -std=c++11
though you will probably have to add something like:
CFLAGS = -D_GNU_SOURCE CXXFLAGS = -D_GNU_SOURCE -std=c++11
b/c some of the features that Cactus needs go beyond the strict standard and are part of POSIX (2008 I think), and _GNU_SOURCE just gives you all of it (for glibc / libstdc++).
I believe the configure script will tell you exactly what is needed if you run without -D_GNU_SOURCE once.
Yours, Roland
