Hello,
I?m trying to learn to program in c++. I bought a book and I install the software on a windows machine and was able to run my first program. Now I would like to run this on a linux mandrake 9.0 machine. I do not know how to do this. This is the program I use from the book.
#include<iostream>
int main()
{
std::cout<<?Hello, new world!\n?;
}
Sorry if this is the wrong newsgroup.
Probably, but since you're here...
I type the following and I get a error
Gcc hello.cpp
In general, it would be helpful if you report the specific error, as well as the version of gcc you are using (gcc --version should tell you).
When I try this on Mandrake 8.1, gcc 2.96, I get errors from the linker, ld, about undefined references to cout and ostream::operator<<. However, if I type
g++ hello.cpp
it compiles and runs fine. It likes like gcc (2.96 at least) doesn't assume from the filename extension that you are compiling C++ rather than C (or at least doesn't automatically link with the proper libraries). I'm rather surprised at that, but anyway try using g++ and see if that works.
Is there a program I can use like visual c++ 6.0 under linux.
I'm not so familiar with C++ integrated development environments for Linux, so I'll have to let someone else answer that.
Thanks Bill Nash
