[newbie] C++ question

2005-01-06 Thread linux
Hi all,
Perhaps this is not the place to ask, but I am getting nowhere searching
the web.
I am trying to learn C++ programming. At my work (for which I need to
learn this) I am futzing with a program which so far works. The machine I
use runs on Tru64 Unix. When I try to compile the same program at home,
the compiler (I use g++ at home) tells me that all kinds of things are
unknown.

The header-files could be the problem, I suspect, but I don't know where
or what. Part of the programcode I wrote:

#include iostream
#include strstream
#include fstream
#include stdlib.h

// ###

void VoegToe(char* foto, int hoog, int breed, char* bestand)
{

cout  Toevoegen...  endl;

ofstream fout(bestand, ios::app);
if (!fout)
{
cout  Er is iets mis!   fout   ??  endl;
return;
}

Of course, the code goes on, but the compiler already tells me that cout
and endl are not defined already. Can someone shed some light on this?
Have I forgotten to install some devel-packages (I have looked at this but
could not find anymore to install.) Or do you need more information?

Thanks for help or pointers,
Paul

[newbie] C/C++ IDE Mandrake 9.2

2003-12-17 Thread Guy Rouillier
On the Mandrake 9.2 download installation, does anyone remember the name 
of the package containing a C/C++ IDE (other than KDevelop)?  I saw it a 
couple days ago when I was installing some other packages and thought to 
myself Hey, that looks interesting, I'll have to come back and check it 
out.  Of course, now I can't remember the name, and I've tried search 
by name and by description to no avail.  Thanks.

Use rpmdrake an search 'c++', or boot the install CD an choose,

You need to install the kernel-source rpm for the version of the kernel

The files will be installed in
 /usr/src/linux-kernel-version

Install the kernel-source RPM using your Mandrake Software manager.
Make sure you install the one matching the kernel you are using.

Went there, but the only choice was for a different kernel.
When I opened the prog to remove software, the sources for my kernel
were listed! (I did install them)
When I say locate kernel-source, I get 
/usr/share/doc/kernel-source-2.4.21
/usr/share/doc/kernel-source-2.4.21/README.kernel-sources

[newbie] C header files

2003-03-02 Thread Andrew Scotchmer
Hi all

Much conventional question this time (sorry about the last one I really didn't 
mean to offend or annoy).

Anyway I'm trying to install VMware 3.1 and after installation I get this 
message when trying to run:

VMware Workstation Error:
VMware Workstation is installed, but it has not been (correctly) configured 
for your running kernel.  To (re-)configure it, your system administrator 
must find and run vmware-config.pl.

After running vmware-config.pl  I get this message:

None of VMware Workstation's pre-built vmmon modules is suitable for your 
running kernel.  Do you want this script to try to build the vmmon module for 
your system (you need to have a C compiler installed on your system)?

After choosing yes I receive another message:

Argument gcc (GCC) 3 isn't numeric in numeric ge (=) at 
/usr/bin/vmware-config.pl line 1476, STDIN line 1.
What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your 
running kernel? [/usr/src/linux/include] 

Where are these files please they are not in the directory it suggested  
[/usr/src/linux/include].  I've tried allsorts but with no luck.

Thanks in advance

You're going to need to install the kernel sources and header files - I
think they're on CD3 - but could be on CD2 - either which, once you get
the kernel sources and headers installed, you can then safely run the
config script for VMWare without any further hassles.

I manually added the kernel sources because I didn't want to depend on
the Mandrake Control Centre and the Software Manager - but someone else
might have a better way of doing the installation of the kernel
sources...

 Hi,
 I am using the GNU gcc version 3.2 (Mandrake Linux 9.0 3.2-1mdk) to compile 
 the program listed below. I get the compile time error:

 Can somebody please give me a hint on why the compiler is complaining?

Because you try to use class C before it is defined (you declared it
above, but the definition comes afterwards).

As long as the class is only declared, you may only use it in limited
context. For example, you may create a pointer or reference to the
class, you may also define new types based on the class (typedef).

But when you define class D, the compiler tries determine the memory
layout of the class, and thefore has to know more about C than it does
at that point.

Believe me, I understand. I think it takes a little practice to be able to
quickly find what you're looking for and understand it in the man pages.
But often for me, it's more convenient than trying to look it up in a
book.

I once asked for recommendations on books for learning shell programming;
one person said man bash is all you need. For a newbie like me, what bad
advice! Have you ever read man bash? Now that I know a little bit, I can
go back and get some info, but as a newbie it was nearly useless.

Take care with the recursive option (-R) on a directory structure.

I recently got caught out big time and changed the ownership of my WHOLE
/home (Only 8Gb!! and 7 users to fix - took days!!)

This commandline _could_ do this too! Especially if being run as root.

If you are intending only to change the ownership of the files _below_
/home/shared_drive you should omit the the training '/*' because any
symbolic links you have in that structure could be followed into other
structures!!

You can edit the ~/home/yournamegoeshere/.bashrc to put variables into
it or modify - but you'll have to logout and login again to make sure

RE: [newbie] c shell path

2003-01-22 Thread Moshe Kaminsky
Hi,

I don't use any of these shells, so I don't remember the exact details,
but if I'm not mistaken, tcsh reads both ~/.cshrc and ~/.tcshrc. So if
you want to have this variable for both shells, put
setenv JAVA_HOME whatever
In ~/.cshrc. If this file doesn't exist, just create it. Of course, if
you are a sysadmin on this machine you might want to set it for all
users in (something like) /etc/cshrc. Anyway, all the details about
these files should be in
man tcshrc

printf(Hello World!\n);

 running a.out, the hello world example, As soon as I type something,
 anything, then the hello world program output and my prompt line:

Not sure I understand what you are saying, but any output from the

 It looks like the program never printed anything at all.

Re: [newbie] c compiler and its problem in 8.0

2002-01-01 Thread Lee Roberts

What warnings are you getting? 

Anyway, you need to add a return value unless you change to function from
int main() to void main(). void main() is considered to be bad
programming though. Add return 0; as your last line in the main()
function. That will return the integer value of 0 (zero) to the system and
is required if you use int main(). The int in int main() means that you
are returning an integer value to the operating system. You should have a
statement of #include stdio.h at the beginning of the program, also.
Usually, a compiler will complain unless you include a header file with the
function prototype and the compiler normally complains if you declare a
function with a return value but don't provide a return value statement
within the body of the function (the data types have to match also).

 You need the stuff from XFree that says -devel- in the rpms.  It checks for X
 by looking for a header file.

Well installed XFree - devel- , and then got message about qt headers,
so I
searched and installed the qt -devel- stuff but have now got a new

[newbie] c++ compiler question

I am trying to compile ddd. When I run the configure, I get this error:

checking whether the C compiler (gcc) compiles and links a simple C program... yes
checking for c++... c++
checking whether the C++ compiler (c++ /usr/bin/c++ ) works... yes

configure: error: You must set the environment variable CXX to a working

  See the file 'config.log' for further diagnostics.

My c++ is in /usr/bin, which is in the path. But I tried exporting CXX to that
and it still won't work. Any ideas?

I'm running Mandrake 7.1

Re: [newbie] -C code=

2001-01-15 Thread Jose Ricardo Sabino

You need to type ./ before the program name! You must read the following when 
ls -l  your_bin_file, for example:

-r-xr-xr-x1 userowner   group 4024 Jan 12 09:55 your_bin_file

the x flags at left indicate a executable file. If this is a binary file, 
already compiled and linked, to execute type from the directory where it's 
located:

./your_bin_file

and type ENTER (RETURN), if you don use ./ the system try to find your the 
name you type as a binary file in $PATH.

if chmod +x don't work properly, use:

chmod 755 your_bin_file

read the flags as:
7 - permissions for the owner to read, write and execute;
5 - permissions to the group to read and execute;
5 - permissions to all to read and execute.

If I understand your prpblem, it will solve the problem!

For anyone doing any kind of binary executable or script development this is
indeed a good reason for adding "." to your $PATH variable.  In most
environments
where I've worked with Unix, "." was usually the first directory in $PATH so
that
you could have your own utility or program supercede one that came with the
system.
If you don't want the latter to happen then put the "." on the end of $PATH.

This is very bad advice for security reasons. You should never put '.' in 
your path - or if you do, at least put it at the end. The reason is basically 
that if some hacker gets into your system, he can throw in replacements for 
various standard commands. And, if he hacks into your account, he can put it 
in your default directory - he might not be able to put it somewhere else 
because of permissions.

If you're doing script development, make a private bin directory off of your 
$HOME, and put your stuff in there, and add $HOME/bin to the $PATH.

What did you download? The c-source code?
Making that +x won't help. You have to compile it first:

gcc programname
The result is "a.out". You can keep that or make that another name:

mv a.out sensible_name

Then chmod +x sensible_name
After that you have to

./sensible_name (note the ./ at the start) to make things run.

Good luck!

Did you replace the word 'file' with the actual file name? If the file is 
'myprogram.c', then you should 'chmod +x myprogram.c', and you need to be 
working in the same directory ('cd mydir', where 'mydir' is the directory 
where your *.c file exists) as the file is in, or include the path to the 
directory if not.

 [snip]
Did you download the ISO image?
What program will you be using to burn the cd?
   
   Charles
   
 
 Since the install ISO is 649MB you should not try to burn it on a
650MB
  blank. Pony and several others make 700MB CD-Rs but be sure you do not
 pick
  up an audio only CD-R.
 NERO trys to make it hard to record from an ISO. There is no info in
 the
  manual or on their web site. Here is what you need to do:
  1) Find the folder to which you downloaded the ISOs, right click on each
 and
  choose rename;
   mandrake 71-ext.iso change to mandrake 71-ext.nrg
   mandrake 71-inst.iso change to mandrake 71-inst.nrg
  2) Launch NERO
  3) Close the New Compilation window so that you have only the main
window
  open.
  4) From the toolbar along the top of the window select CD Recorder/
Choose
  Recorder and be sure your CD-RW is picked
  as the recording device.
  5) From the File menu select Burn image. In the pop-up window navigate
to
  the folder with the .nrg file and click on one and click OK
  6) A Foreign Image File box will open. Click OK.
  7)A Foreign Image Setting box will open. Change it were necessary to
show
  the following values: Data mode 1; Block Size 2048: and the Swapped
option
  should be checked.Click OK.
  8) A Write CD window will open. If you have not done much burning and
are
  not familiar with your CD-RWs abilities check all 4 boxes, test speed,
  simulate, burn, and finalize. By doing this NERO will auto select the
burn
  speed.Finally in the top right of the window click the Write button and
 the
  process of burning the CD will begin.
 When the 1st CD is finished follow steps 5-8 to create the 2nd.
 Hope I have not made it seem too complicated. If you have any

 or

 Since the install ISO is 649MB you should not try to burn it on a

 pick

 NERO trys to make it hard to record from an ISO. There is no info in
 the
  manual or on their web site. Here is what you need to do:
  1) Find the folder to which you downloaded the ISOs, right click on each
 and
  choose rename;
   mandrake 71-ext.iso change to mandrake 71-ext.nrg
   mandrake 71-inst.iso change to mandrake 71-inst.nrg
  2) Launch NERO
  3) Close the New Compilation window so that you have only the main
window
  open.
  4) From the toolbar along the top of the window select CD Recorder/
Choose
  Recorder and be sure your CD-RW is picked
  as the recording device.
  5) From the File menu select Burn image. In the pop-up window navigate
to
  the folder with the .nrg file and click on one and click OK
  6) A Foreign Image File box will open. Click OK.
  7)A Foreign Image Setting box will open. Change it were necessary to
show
  the following values: Data mode 1; Block Size 2048: and the Swapped
option
  should be checked.Click OK.
  8) A Write CD window will open. If you have not done much burning and
are
  not familiar with your CD-RWs abilities check all 4 boxes, test speed,
  simulate, burn, and finalize. By doing this NERO will auto select the
burn
  speed.Finally in the top right of the window click the Write button and
 the
  process of burning the CD will begin.
 When the 1st CD is finished follow steps 5-8 to create the 2nd.

Mark,
What version of CodeWarrior are you using?  I contacted the support people there and 
they said their *current* version does not run under Mandrake-Linux (they have RedHat 
 SuSE versions).  But they said they are beta testing their next version which WILL 
run under Mandrake-Linux 7.1.

I, too, am doing an evaluation of C++ development environments for Linux, and my short 
list consists of: KDevelop, Moonshine (I think I'm gonna pick this one just for the 
NAME! ;-), C-Forge, and WipeOut.  Any comments/suggestions on which of these you think 
is "best" would be greatly welcomed.

Thanks!

There's an IDE Programming app called Codewarrior that is probably one
of the best developement tools that exists for Linux. It's relatively
inexpensive as far as these things go. I think around $70 dollars.

 Mark,
 What version of CodeWarrior are you using?  I contacted the support people there and 
they said their *current* version does not run under Mandrake-Linux (they have RedHat 
 SuSE versions).  But they said they are beta testing their next version which WILL 
run under Mandrake-Linux 7.1.
 
 I, too, am doing an evaluation of C++ development environments for Linux, and my 
short list consists of: KDevelop, Moonshine (I think I'm gonna pick this one just for 
the NAME! ;-), C-Forge, and WipeOut.  Any comments/suggestions on which of these you 
think is "best" would be greatly welcomed.

I haven't bought my version of Codewarrior yet. I've seen it though and
it's nice! At the moment I'm using what comes with linux, and sometimes
I boot windows and use my Boreland IDE.

I had started leaning C++ a while back, but then I got REAL busy with
school and didn't have the time. Now that all my computer classes are
over and I've got two semesters left I have more time to get back to
C++.

Thank you - I tried gcc and found I like it a lot.  I don't care as much
about fancy as about functional, so I am happily set up
with vim and gcc now.  :)

Have you tried lcc?  I heard it's similar to gcc but not identical and I
wondered what the difference was.

I've written your book title down, to go with kernighan and ritchie's
_the c programming language_ when i am a bit farther along!

 a book that will actually let you learn C, I would recommend the book
by Donald (I think) Kochan (the last name is correct).  If

second edition.  It's paperback, green, with a diamond on

Thanks!  Gcc is seeming to work well for me for C.  Its error messages
if I don't get a
clean compile are easy for me to understand...I type

gcc -Wall -ggdb hello.c -o hello

This is FUN.  Hello, World!  ;)

When you did the install did you install for developer, or workstation. In
order to get all the libraries that you need to compile with you have to
install for developer.

Re: [newbie] C Libraries - Where are they?

2000-07-13 Thread Mark Weaver

Hi Roman,

O my goodness yes. TONS more than workstation. Workstation is exactly
what is says it is and nothing more. That's why if you're ever planning
on doing more with a machine than just desktop work it is a must to
install the developer installation. I always, ever since I started with
Linux in RedHat 5.2, use the custom/developer install.

With RH 5.2 you had a choice of KDE WS, Gnome WS, server, developer, or
custom. I always chose the custom and leaned heavily towards the
developer isntalls. That way I was sure to get all the libraries that I
would need to install software and eventually be able to write for
Linux. My own system of course. I have no delusions of ever doing
anything for the OS. I dont' have that kind of time. My day job keeps
mme plently busy enough.

Re: [newbie] C compiler cannot create executables

2000-07-08 Thread Dana

Most likely is that gcc was never installed.

Put in your installation disk and tell it you
want to do an upgrade in expert mode.
Go through and have it install the compiler.
Make sure you have it install all the development
libraries also.

And Bob's your uncle.

 Hi,
 This is my first post as I just subscribed, so I'm sorry if I'm going over
 old ground. I recently installed Mandrake 7.0 on a new disk in a PII
233Mhz
 machine. I am trying to learn how to install packages from a "tarball" but
 run into a problem when I try to run ./configure, it fails with the
 following error:-

 "checking whether C compiler (gcc) worksno
 configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot
 create executables"

 I looked in the configure log and found the following, however I have no
 idea what it's trying to tell me, am I missing a file (conftest or
 conftest.c)?

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