Summary: ld used even though g++ is specified

Initial Comment:
Using the example from the cpptasks website, I am not able to link.  Ant correctly compiles my object, but uses the ld linker instead of g++ causing the build to fail.

I attempted to add a linker tag forcing it to use g++... and that did not work.

Here is some of the error message:
       [cc] obj/main.o(.text+0xa5): In function `main':
       [cc] : undefined reference to `std::basic_ostream<char, std::char_traits<char> >::operator<<(std::basic_ostream<char, std::char_traits<char> >& (*)(std::basic_ostream<char, std::char_traits<char> >&))'
       [cc] obj/main.o(.eh_frame+0x11): undefined reference to `__gxx_personality_v0'
       [cc] collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Here is my build.xml:
<project name="MainApp" default="compile">
<taskdef resource="cpptasks.tasks"/>
    <target name="compile">
        <mkdir dir="./obj"/>
        <cc name="g++" outtype="executable" subsystem="console" outfile="./main.exe" objdir="./obj">
           <fileset dir="." includes="*.cpp"/>
           <linker name="g++"/>
        </cc>
    </target>
</project>

I am using cpptasks 1.0 beta 5 with ant 1.7.1 under JDK 6.10.

Thanks man for the solution. I was about to go crazy 'cos I couldn't get
even a simple hello world to compile with ant.

Message:
I got this working by adding this:
    <cpptasks:linker id="LinuxLinker">
        <libset libs="stdc++"/>
    </cpptasks:linker>

... which I shouldn't have to.
Using g++ to link should pass the required arguments to ld to link a C++
program.
