Exclamation Why wont this compile?

Hi,
Well over the past few weeks this newbie has been very impressed over FreeBSD and wonders why he wasted years with M$ products. Your support has been wonderfull and the O/S rocks.

However being a programmer at heart I wanted to check out gcc++. So I made a file Hello.cpp

Code:
#include <iostream>

int main()
{
    cout << "Hello World\n";

    return 0;
}
the simplest program I could think of, which when compiled gives me...

Code:

Can anyone explain why this is not working? Perhaps I should be posting this to a programming forum, however it is so simple I thought you guys would pickup where I was going wrong in seconds.

Thanking you in advance,
Jonathan.

It's been a while but I think you are missing some includes like stdio.h.

And yes, this should be in the programming forum.

".h" was missing. iostream ==> iostream.h

looks like you were trying to compile it with 'gcc' instead of 'g++'.

change your program to:

Code:
//  test.cc  or test.cpp
#include <iostream>

int main()
{
    std::cout << "Hello World\n";

    return 0;
}
to compile:

$ g++ test.cc

Or, instead.. do:
Code:
//  test.cc  or test.cpp
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int
main(void) {
    cout << "Hello World\n";
                            
    return 0;               
}
That we you don't need to add the std:: prefix..

Anyway, I don't understand why people use C++ instead of C.. it's so much cleaner.

Yes ... I agree with you ... Things are so simple in C ...

I tried the compilation and it works fine for me (FreeBSD 6.3) using std::cout.

On older versions, you may have to add libstd++ to link the software.

people have different requirements IMO its not correct to discourage others from using c++ because of your personal (unsubstantiated) opinions.

freebsd has proper support for c++ and quite a few apps (outside the fbsd base system) use c++.

1) I don't discourage others ... only the ones who work with me
2) I do not want to start a troll pros/cons c++

I only said that I agree with BSDfan666.

I have spent 9 months debugging a huge C++ hugly code, because the language is too much complicated for novices.

C is far more simpler (powerless ? I do not think so)

I may speak about malloc/new, references, exceptions and so on...

"How C++ is like teenage sex:

1. It is on everyone's mind all the time.
2. Everyone talks about it all the time.
3. Everyone thinks everyone else is doing it.
4. Almost no one is really doing it.
5. The few who are doing it are: A. Doing it poorly. B. Sure it will be better next time. C. Not practising it safely."

yes i agree C++ is a complicated prog. language.

i hope you didn't miss the context of that joke.
it was a toilet graffiti in the CS dept. of a college in Israel way back in 1993 (i suppose C++ must have been the over-hyped latest programming fad at the time).

Talking Okay it now works...

ephemera had most of the answer, I was using the wrong compiler. I should use g++ not anything else, but then I ran into a problem.

So g++ -o Hello Hello.cpp worked with the following code.

Code:
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
        cout<<"Hello World\n";

        return 0;
}

The thing wouldn't execute from the current directory so

Code:
Hello
failed, but when I typed...

Code:
./Hello
it finally said "Hello World"!

Thanks for your help guys, in future I will post programming questions where they belong.

Cheers,
Jonathan.

is correct and standard C++, the .h part is the old method and I believe is depreciated in modern C++.


Although you might find a compiler that barfs about missing .h's you probably will never find one that complains by default about them.


I believe one of the changes in the transition from Qt3 to Qt4 is #include <QWhatEver> is now the preferred norm as well over the old #include <QWhatEver.h> or die.


(Disclaimer: I have avoided using C++ for a long time now, I prefer ISO/IEC 9899:1999 aka C99 ).


If one doesn't need access to much of the (entire) std namespace it's probably best to do something else in a larger (more realistic) program, but I think everyone here knows that and I use helloworlds to test new compilers/IDE's as well


The name spaces related syntax and templates are one of the very few things that I like about C++.

This is because the shell uses a search path to locate programs. Everything on the command prompt is eventually tokenized and checked.

If $PATH is == /bin:/usr/bin typing 'hello' tells the shell to look for /bin/hello and then /usr/bin/hello.

If you don't like doing the ./hello thing you'll have to add the current working directory to your shells $PATH.
