Makefile c++11 support

Question

i recently started a small project in C++. I created a simply Makefile:

    CC=g++
    CFLAGS =-std=c++0x -I. -c
    VPATH = src include



    vpath %.c src

Since you are using implicit rules for building the .o files, you should use CXXFLAGS to set the C++ flags:

CXXFLAGS =-std=c++0x

No need for -I. or -c.

I would add a few more flags to get decent errors and warnings:

CXXFLAGS := -Wall -Wextra -pedantic-errors -std+c++0x

Likewise for g++. If your default settings do not invoke g++, then you need to add

CXX = g++
