Compile FFMPEG with G++ instead of GCC

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I've tried modifying any files I could find in hopes of forcing FFmpeg to 
compile with g++ but it _always_ compiles with gcc. Is there a flag in some 
file that I've missed that will enable me to do this?

What exactly are you trying to achieve by compiling with g++?   Since ffmpeg is 
largely written in C its likely to have problem compiling if you use g++.  
Perhaps you mean that you want to link with g++?   If this is the goal I would 
suggest modifying ld_default in the configure script.

Well I want to make ffmpeg executable in a NaCl environment, so I added some 
C++ message handling functions. These don't work unless they're compiled in 
C++..

So it sounds like you want to add some C++ files to ffmpeg, and link with C++, 
rather than compile everything as C++.   This should be not hard, but you will 
need to modify the Makefile.am files, and perhaps the configure.in script.

Another approach would be to leave the ffmpeg package along and create a new 
app (in C++) which links against the ffmpeg libraries.
