# Gplusplus > Compiles C++ source files. > Part of GCC (GNU Compiler Collection). - Compile a source code file into an executable binary: `g++ {{source.cpp}} -o {{output_executable}}` - Activate output of (almost) all errors and warnings: `g++ {{source.cpp}} -Wall -o {{output_executable}}` - Choose a language standard to compile for(C++98/C++11/C++14/C++17): `g++ {{source.cpp}} -std={{language_standard}} -o {{output_executable}}` - Include libraries located at a different path than the source file: `g++ {{source.cpp}} -o {{output_executable}} -I{{header_path}} -L{{library_path}} -l{{library_name}}`
