If your application is *pure* C then you can't use C++, so I'm not sure what you mean. > The question is how can I do that in such a way that make file > automatically compile this file with g++ and others with gcc. This is a question about writing makefiles, which is not a question about using gcc, however ... The answer entirely depends how your makefile is written. The conventional way would be for C files to be compiled with $(CC) and C++ files to be compiled with $(CXX) so you would simply ensure that your source files have the correct file extensions so make correctly identifies their type and uses the correct rule for compiling that file type. So just use the conventional file extension for C++, one of .cc, .C, .cpp etc.
