I know this seems like a duplicate of this question and many more, but hear me out. That question points to MingGW, which, as far as I can tell, only has version 4.8.whatever of gcc with it. I tried Cygwin, but Cygwin never really worked with my IDE.

I'm trying to add the exe for G++ 4.9 to the GNU GCC Compiler that comes with CodeBlocks. I just need the g++.exe for the #include <regex>.

    I think that cigwin is the best way for gcc on Windows. What's your OS ? – Damiii Jun 07 '14 at 01:02

    Even with 4.8, invoking g++ with the `-std=c++11` switch should work... Not sure about MinGW... – selbie Jun 07 '14 at 07:36
  • @selbie I'm a noob, how would I do that? _(Post as answer please.)_ – rootmeanclaire Jun 08 '14 at 22:37
  • Type `g++ -std=c++11 mycode.cpp` at the command line. – selbie Jun 09 '14 at 03:00

    Have you considered just using Visual Studio Express? VS is a free download these days and is largely C++11 compliant. – selbie Jun 09 '14 at 19:28

You can install MinGW. It contains GCC and G++
