Compile C++ for NIOS2 in Linux

[Altera_Forum]

I would like to compile C++ for Nios2 under Linux. 

 I found gcc-nios2 and binutils-nios2 but it doesn't look like it handles C++ only C.  Does anyone know if there a GNU version of something like nios2-elf-g++ ?  When I try to compile a .cpp file I get this: $ nios2-elf-gcc numpty.cpp nios2-elf-gcc: numpty.cpp: C++ compiler not installed on this system  Anyone having an idea?

Compiling .cpp files with nios2-elf-gcc works on my linux machine. There's a nios2-elf-c++ in the directory so I assume that's the C++ compiler portion of the GNU tools. Maybe it's something with your environment? I'm using a standard NIOS 5.1 Linux installation on Debian. The command line C++ compiler works in both the standard bash shell or in the sdk_shell
