Do you have a reference where this is stated? AFAIK it's only there to make sure to install a compiler that is capable of supporting that version of the standard, not to request the compiler to build.Setting the CXXFLAGS is either done by the build system of the software you're porting or can be requested by setting USE_CXXSTD=c++xx in the port's Makefile. > It is also supposed to upgrade the > compiler (use the higher version from ports) when the base compiler. > Am I misunderstanding the purpose of compiler:c++11-lang? > > See also https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=211134 -m -- Michael Gmelin
