Hi, I added to debian/rules a small amount of bash code which selects the best available g++ (trying first g++-4.8 then 4.7, both of which are known to work) and assigns it to CXX. After that, ./configure will use $CXX (not whatever g++ happens to be), and therein lieth the fix. This is the relevant part: %: for v in 4.8 4.7; do \ g=`which g++-$$v`; \ if test -n "$$g"; then \ $$g >/dev/null 2>&1; \ if [ $$? != 127 ]; then export CXX=`which g++-$$v`; break; fi \ fi \ done; \ dh $@ --with autoreconf The check for exit code 127 is required to detect the case of /usr/bin/g++-4.x existing (as a symlink) without g++-4.x actually installed. This is actually the case with g++-4.9: $ g++-4.9 /usr/bin/g++-4.9: not found (maybe g++-4.9 is not installed?) $ echo $? 127 Unless anyone suggests a better solution, I would ask my trusty sponsor Yaroslav to proceed with upload from http://johnhommer.com/academic/code/aghermann/source/deb/aghermann_1.0-2.dsc.
