Make Sublime Text use gcc4.8 on Mac

I want to use Sublime Text(2/ 3alpha) for simple c++ programs, but I cannot use c++11. I tried changing the build file, but adding -std=c++11 does not help. I do have GCC4.8 installed with macports(and it works otherwise) but apparently sublime text is using the 4.2 variant. How do I make it use the newer one? I tried googling for a solution but haven't found one so far. Thank you for your patience!

As Tom Knapen suggested, the solution is to include the full path of the newer gcc. In my case, with the macports gcc, this was:

/opt/local/bin/g++-mp-4.8

So the sublime-build looks like this:

{
    "cmd": ["/opt/local/bin/g++-mp-4.8", "${file}", "-o", "${file_path}/${file_base_name}", "-std=c++11", "-Wall", "-O2"],
    "file_regex": "^(..[^:]*):([0-9]+):?([0-9]+)?:? (.*)$",
    "working_dir": "${file_path}",
    "selector": "source.c, source.c++,
}

I think you need to specify the absolute path to your GCC 4.8 executable (since g++ is probably just a symlink to GCC 4.2 on your system).

Here's my gcc-4.8.1 (Release).sublime-build on Ubuntu:

{
    "cmd": ["/opt/gcc-4.8.1/bin/g++", "${file}", "-o", "${file_path}/${file_base_name}", "-std=c++11", "-Wall", "-O3"],
    "file_regex": "^(..[^:]*):([0-9]+):?([0-9]+)?:? (.*)$",
    "working_dir": "${file_path}",
    "selector": "source.c, source.c++, source.cxx",

    "variants":
    [
        {
            "name": "Run",
            "cmd": ["bash", "-c", "${file_path}/${file_base_name}"]
        }
    ]
}

Note that I'm passing an absolute path in 'cmd'.
