Qt requires C++11 support

I used Qt 5.7 and gcc 4.9.2. Qt Core module throw Qt requires C++11 support error.

This page say that

gcc 4.9.2 fails to compile Qt.

So I installed gcc 4.8. I check using below command on terminal : 

$ g++ --version
g++ (Ubuntu 4.8.4-1ubuntu15) 4.8.4

My kit uses cmake not qmake. I add TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES ( xxxx yyyy /usr/bin/c++ -std=c++11 to CMakeLists-txt.

I restart my pc and run my application again. Same error is throwed.

/opt/Qt/5.7/gcc_64/include/QtCore/qbasicatomic.h:61: error: #error "Qt requires C++11 support"
 #  error "Qt requires C++11 support"
    ^

How can I solve it?

SOMETIMES, this will not be a configuration issue as mentioned in other answers. In my case, the problem was one file that happened to have been saved with a .CPP extension rather than .cpp. QMake (Qt5) was misidentifying the file and trying to compile it with the C compiler rather than the C++ compiler. The QMake from Qt4 was not exhibiting this issue. Renaming the file fixed the issue.

My comment at the time was "Could this really be that f&%%& simple!!"

If using QtCreator, you can add this to your .pro file:

CONFIG += c++11

Its has been a while. How I finally solve it is indicating in CMakeLists.txt the following line just after project(MyProject):

add_compile_options(-std=c++11)

That says to cmake, to create a Makefile that will use c++11 solving issues.

solution for me was (in your .pro file): 

QMAKE_CXXFLAGS += -stdlib=libc++
QMAKE_CXXFLAGS += -std=c++11
QMAKE_CXXFLAGS += -mmacosx-version-min=10.7
QMAKE_LFLAGS += -mmacosx-version-min=10.7

Turn c++11 on explicitly:

  1. set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "-std=c++11" CACHE STRING "compile flags" FORCE) after project(...) declaration.
  2. add_library(MyLib SHARED ${PROJECT_HEADERS} ${PROJECT_SOURCES}) ... set_property(TARGET MyLib PROPERTY CXX_STANDARD 11) set_property(TARGET MyLib PROPERTY CXX_STANDARD_REQUIRED ON)
