GEOS build errors

Question

The GEOS library geos-3.5.0.tar.bz2 is failing during the make.Have seen similar SE query MinGW / CxxTest bizarre errors but I am not sure which file to change as the commands are in a configuration and makefile.

/bin/sh ../../../libtool  --tag=CXX   --mode=compile g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../../../include -I../../../include/geos  -I../../../include   -DGEOS_INLINE  -pedantic -Wall -ansi -Wno-long-long  -ffloat-store -g -O2 -MT IndexedPointInAreaLocator.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/IndexedPointInAreaLocator.Tpo -c -o IndexedPointInAreaLocator.lo IndexedPointInAreaLocator.cpp

I solved my problem on x64 system using MinGW-x64 https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64

The solution is I adopted is to change CXXFLAGS in Makefile per the SE suggestion at G++ updated on MingW gets massive error messages.

Searched for CXXFLAGS in Makefile which looked like

CXXFLAGS = -g -O2

I changed it to

CXXFLAGS = -g -O2 -std=gnu++11 -c -Wall

Since there are tens of Makefiles in the sub folders,I changed them using python batch script at one go.

import os, fnmatch
def findReplace(directory, find, replace, filePattern):
    for path, dirs, files in os.walk(os.path.abspath(directory)):
        for filename in fnmatch.filter(files, filePattern):
            filepath = os.path.join(path, filename)
            with open(filepath) as f:
                s = f.read()
            s = s.replace(find, replace)
            with open(filepath, "w") as f:
                f.write(s)

findReplace(r"C:\MinGW\git_rep\geos-3.5.0", "CXXFLAGS = -g -O2", "CXXFLAGS = -g -O2 -std=gnu++11 -c -Wall", "Makefile")
