How to resolve: Error when bootstrapping CMake on Linux

I received an error while trying to build CMake on Linux. I could not reach the make step. I read around the web but still couldn't really fix this.

I tried both of these, but neither worked:

$ ./configure --prefix=/opt/cmake

$ ./bootstrap

They resulted in:

CMake Error at CmakeLists.txt:107 (message):
The C++ compiler does not support C++11 (e.g. std::unique_ptr).

-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred
--------------------------------------------
Error when bootstrapping CMake:
Problem while running initial CMake
--------------------------------------------

And:

command -v g++
/usr/bin/g++

g++ --version
g++ (Ubuntu/Linaro 7.4.0-1ubuntu1~18.04.1) 7.4.0

The code I am trying to compile is in C, so I'm wondering why I'm receiving errors raised with respect to the C++ Compiler? Perhaps any thoughts on this too?

You can set up the specific gcc and g++ version using the following commands.

export CC=path_of_gcc/gcc-version
export CXX=path_of_g++/g++-version

And now run any of the commands:

./configure    #OR
./bootstrap
