Run easy c++ program with Anjuta -> compiler cannot create executables?

I'm currently trying to use Anjuta to get familiar with C++. I tried to run a simple Hello World program in the main.cc-file:

#include <iostream>

int main()
{
    std::cout << "Hello world!" << std::endl;
    return 0;
}

but it was completed unsuccessfully and I received the following config.log:

This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

It was created by foobar_cpp configure 0.1, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.69.  Invocation command line was

  $ /home/user/foobar-cpp/configure --enable-maintainer-mode CFLAGS=-g -O0 CXXFLAGS=-g -O0 JFLAGS=-g -O0 FFLAGS=-g -O0

The solution is to install g++.

sudo apt install g++

This is necessary because the IDE merely provides an interface to see the code, and finally it runs a c++ compiler to compile the program.
