I am trying to compile a code involving python and C++ in Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS and I have this type of error 

hammouc@kw13921:~/Documents/mimclib$ make
python setup.py clean
running clean

removing 'build'
rm -f -r build dist mimclib.egg-info
rm -f -r /home/hammouc/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/mimclib*
python setup.py build_ext --inplace

cc1plus: error: unrecognized command line option ‘-std=c++11’
error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1
make: *** [inplace] Error 1

Could anyone help since I am not so familiar with ubuntu. Thanks.

You can upgrade your compiler, or just modify the setup.py file.

Find the following line:

extra_compile_args=['-std=c++11'])],

And change the flag into -std=c++0x, which makes it:

extra_compile_args=['-std=c++0x'])],

And run it again, it should work with this. (Tested with the mimclib source code on github)

You need at least gcc 4.8 to compile this. See How to install gcc-4.8 for how you can install it on Ubuntu 12.04.
