Linking C++ code with 'gcc' (without g++)

Hi all: quick question: I'm in a situation where it would be useful to generate my C++ executable using only 'gcc' (without g++). Reason for this is that I have to submit the code to an automatic submission server which doesn't recognize the 'g++' (or 'c++', for that matter) command. In my experiments, while I'm compiling gcc works well. Problem is, when I try to link the generated object files it gets messed up. Now, based on what I understood from the gcc man page (I may be way off, so tell me if I am), g++ is basically gcc, but it links the C++ library. If this is true, how can I (if possible) explicitly link the C++ library without using the g++ (or c++) command? EDIT: I'm adding the makefile to better illustrate the problem: ``` COMPILER = gcc CFLAGS = -Wall -g -x c++ # MODULE COMPILATION model: modules/model.h modules/sources/model.cpp $(COMPILER) $(CFLAGS) -c modules/sources/model.cpp -o obj/model.o algorithms: modules/algorithms.h modules/sources/algorithms.cpp $(COMPILER) $(CFLAGS) -c modules/sources/algorithms.cpp -o obj/algorithms.o io: modules/io.h modules/sources/io.cpp $(COMPILER) $(CFLAGS) -c modules/sources/io.cpp -o obj/io.o stopwatch: modules/stopwatch.h modules/sources/stopwatch.cpp $(COMPILER) $(CFLAGS) -c modules/sources/stopwatch.cpp -o obj/stopwatch.o # EXECUTABLE GENERATION exe: model algorithms io stopwatch $(COMPILER) $(CFLAGS) main.cpp obj/model.o obj/algorithms.o obj/io.o obj/stopwatch.o -o bin/process # DEFAULT TEST CASE run: exe ./bin/process -i data/nasa_small.log -a data/nasa_small.access -s data/nasa_small.stack # CLEANING ROUTINE clean: rm -f obj/* ```
