Linux C++ Makefile

I'm trying to use the GNU autotools (autoconf, automake, etc) to work with a project I'm developing for C++. This is my first experience using those tools. I've gotten a very basic project to work with C source so I'm understanding the interactions. The problem that I'm having is getting the files to work with for C++ source using G++. Through my searching through online resources, I've found that supposedly the only thing I need to do is add the following to configure.in: AC_PROG_CXX That's on top of AC_PROG_C. However, after I add the line and then rerun autoconf and automake, then go through the make process, it still is looking to use gcc instead of g++ when compiling and there is an error. I'm curious if I'm missing a step. Any help would be appreciated.
