make or preprocessor error - ddrescue-1.5

["Adam W" <adam.ckdvwwzz@gmail.com>]

For the recovery I am trying to do the direct disc accrss ability of
ddrescue-1.[4|5] is recomended. I have the same problems when I try
1.4. The stable / testing / unstabe only have ddrescue-1.2x. So, I got
ddrescue-1.5 from GNU.

Thanks.

I extract the archive and cd to the directory.

$ ./configure

OK. Now you can run make.
$ make
c++  -Wall -W -O2 -c -o arg_parser.o arg_parser.cc

apt-cache serch c++ didn't help me
I have cpp and gcc installed in /usr/bin/
So, I try linking them with c++

$ su
# ln -T /usr/bin/cpp /usr/bin/c++ && make && install
c++  -Wall -W -O2 -c -o arg_parser.o arg_parser.cc
c++: "-c" is not a valid option to the preprocessor
make: *** [arg_parser.o] Error 1
# rm /usr/bin/c++ && ln -T /usr/bin/gcc /usr/bin/c++ && make && install
c++  -Wall -W -O2 -c -o arg_parser.o arg_parser.cc
