Anyone know the best way to get eclipse to compile .c files with g++ rather than gcc?

g++ is a frontend for the GNU Compiler Suite.
It is essentially the equivalent of gcc -xc++

If you are asking how to compile a C program with g++ you could
try to override it with the -x flag (-xc). Not sure if it will work.

If you meant compile a C++ program with a .c extent, you could
just use g++ and add the -x flag to be sure.

Seems easier to use gcc or g++ as appropriate.

You could also change the Eclipse file associations but that
would open a potential can of worms.
