How to use home-brew g++

homebrew

I try to make and get:

Makefile:81: "*** WARNING g++ minor version <7 ***"
mkdir -p obj_linux/codebase/spoa/src/
g++ -static-libgcc -static-libstdc++ -D__cplusplus=201103L -I"./src/" -I"/usr/include/" -Icodebase/argparser/src -Icodebase/seqlib/src -Icodebase/samscripts/src -Icodebase/spoa/src -O3 -fdata-sections ->ffunction-ections -c -fmessage-length=0 -ffreestanding -fopenmp -m64 ->std=c++11 -error=return-type -pthread -march=native -o obj_linux/codebase/spoa/src/alignment.o codebase/spoa/src/alignment.cpp
clang: error: unsupported option '-fopenmp'
make: *** [obj_linux/codebase/spoa/src/alignment.o] Error 1
lahmersk-iml13:racon lahmersk$ whereis g++
/usr/bin/g++

I have a home-brew install of 7.3 at /usr/local/Cellar/gcc

I tried to export PATH in .bash_profile with:

# gcc location
export PATH=/usr/local/Cellar/gcc:$PATH

My Cellar directory has:

lahmersk-iml13:Cellar lahmersk$ ls
aragorn     gdbm        libmpc      parallel    sqlite
barrnap     gmp     llvm        prodigal    tbl2asn
blast       hmmer       lmdb        prokka      xz
cmake       infernal    minced      python3
eigen       isl     mpfr        qt
gcc     libffi      openssl     readline

and gcc is:

lahmersk-iml13:Cellar lahmersk$ cd gcc
lahmersk-iml13:gcc lahmersk$ ls
7.3.0

My current bash_profile is:

# Homebrew location
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:$PATH

# Centrifuge location
export PATH=/Users/lahmersk/centrifuge:$PATH

# Spades location
export PATH=/Users/lahmersk/SPAdes-3.11.1-Darwin/bin:$PATH

# Bowtie2 location
export PATH=/Users/lahmersk/bowtie2-2.3.4.1:$PATH

# Pilon location
export PATH=/Users/lahmersk/pilon-1.21:$PATH

# Prokka location
export PATH=/Users/lahmersk/prokka/bin:$PATH

# Barrnap location
export PATH=/Users/lahmersk/barrnap/bin:$PATH

# gcc location
export PATH=/usr/local/Cellar/gcc:$PATH

when I do sudo vi /etc/paths I get:

/usr/local/bin
/usr/bin
/bin
/usr/sbin
/sbin

I could use some assistance. What other info can I provide?

You shouldn't need to add the Cellar to your path for this. But Homebrew adds a version suffix to the gcc commands to avoid name clashes with the standard gcc:

So the compiler you are looking for can be invoked with g++-7.
