Upgrading GCC on Debian Wheezy to support C++ 11 features
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty margin-bottom:0;
We are currently working with Kontron servers on which we've installed Debian 7.x systems.
I began to develop applications using C++ 11 features. But it's not officially supported by the version of gcc (gcc 4.7.x).
I just realized that it's not that easy to upgrade a version of GCC on a Debian 7.x.
What would be the best solution to upgrade the GCC version to a Debian Wheezy so that it supports C++ 11 features on my Linux dev platform?
What to upgrade on the production server so that the generated binary could execute properly? I guess the libstdc++ has changed a lot.

To upgrade g++ on wheezy, you'll also have to upgrade libstdc++ (and every package that depends on that) and many other libraries. You'll end up with a system that is neither jessie nor wheezy but a custom-built hybrid of the two. This custom distro will receive only a tiny fraction of the testing and integration that jessie receives (i.e. only what you do yourself). You would be much better off just upgrading to jessie. If your goal is to stay with oldstable aka wheezy then by upgrading g++ and libstdc++ etc you have already defeated that goal.

One option is to compile it from source. I used the following instructions to update g++ on my Ubuntu machine, but should be the same for Debian. (You may use stow so that it is easier to remove later but it is not necessary.)
wget http://gcc.cybermirror.org/releases/gcc-4.9.0/gcc-4.9.0.tar.gz
tar -xvf gcc-4.9.0.tar.gz
cd gcc-4.9.0/
./contrib/download_prerequisites
mkdir objdir
cd objdir
$PWD/../configure --prefix=/usr/local/stow/gcc-4.9.0
make
sudo apt-get install stow
sudo make install
cd /usr/local/stow
sudo stow gcc-4.9.0

To upgrade g++ on wheezy, you'll also have to upgrade libstdc++ (and every package that depends on that) and many other libraries. You'll end up with a system that is neither jessie nor wheezy but a custom-built hybrid of the two. This custom distro will receive only a tiny fraction of the testing and integration that jessie receives (i.e. only what you do yourself). You would be much better off just upgrading to jessie. If your goal is to stay with oldstable aka wheezy then by upgrading g++ and libstdc++ etc you have already defeated that goal.
