Change the C++ Build command line options with Eclipse

Eclipse 3.8 File>Properties displays a window: Properties for hw.cpp. C/C++ Build>Settings shows: Settings with the tab: Tool Settings containing these text field values:

Command:

g++

All options:

-O0 -g3 -Wall -c -fmessage-length=0

I would like to add -std=c++1y but the All options field is not editable. How do I change the command line options?

The Command field is editable.

    Other flags

    Change to:
