I switch between so many projects and IDEs a lot. They run each project with default options of IDE. For example 

g++ test.cpp

I know make file can solve the problem. But it is not IDE friendly way. I am thinking if there is any way to impose option

-std=c++11

In the code rather than in calling g++.

The same problem with linker. I want to tell the linker in the code that I want to link to armadillo library

-larmadillo

Maybe setting a prepossessing command could solve the problem. Is there any solution for it?

Have you tried CMake? With this you can create compiler and IDE independent makefiles and then generate the makefiles/project files for the environment of your choise. You can freely script it so you can set certin swithces for gcc and other for vc++ or clang.

You can also use it if you want to create different build configurations.

  • I would instead suggest simply to learn GNU make (*without* using `cmake` to generate `Makefile`-s) – Basile Starynkevitch Feb 09 '15 at 09:22
  • @BasileStarynkevitch That is also a possible solution, but maybe insufficient. CMake can generate Visual Studio project files for example. (Although it is not specified in the question what IDE he wishes to use.) – Gábor Angyal Feb 09 '15 at 09:30
