closed account (EwCjE3v7)
I get the following error when every trying to compile anything with g++
g++ Testing.cpp -o t -std=c++11 -v

Code:

1
2
3
4
int mian()
{
    return 0;
}


Using built-in specs.

EDIT:

Update, main not mian :)

Have you tried fully uninstalling (making sure no relevant directories remain) and then reinstalling?
I would like to suggest you check the order you entered your command.
It appears the compiler was searching for some items and could not find them.
Not to go into much details above.
instead of using
g++ Testing.cpp -o t -std=c++11 -v as shown in your question

try this

g++ -std=c++11 -o t Testing.cpp and see the outcome.

I am assuming you want your output to be called t , although it should be better to give a good or meaningful name to your output.

I did not see any include statement at the beginning of your code
for eg #include <iostream> . It is imperative you provide at least one or more libraries for the pre-processor depending on the kind of objects you want to use. I am assuming your installation is in order as suggested by LB.
Check the version of g++ or gcc you are using. use version 4.7 or higher in order to get the full functionality of -std=c++11.

As suggested, try other compiles:
1
2
g++ -c Testing.cpp -o Testing.o -v
g++ Testing.o -o Testing
