g++ compiling issue

k1ll3r_x · 05-02-2005, 10:39 AM

i know something about java but i dont know alot about c++, but when i use the g++ compiler some message comes out, saying that the #include <iostream.h> is too old or something similar to this, i am using gcc 4.4.3 and it tells me to use some other statement stored in some folder.
id really appreciate the help, maybe its that im doing something wrong when compiling.
this is what im doing

Code:

//hiworld.cpp
#include <iostream.h>
  int main()
    {
    cout << "Hello World";
    return 0;
    }

and to compile i do this

Code:

jerry@virtz~#:g++ hiworld.cpp -o execfile

any help is appreciated

Yep, iostream.h is the old style. You should do something like this:

Code:

#include <iostream>

// Make the standard namespace (containing cout) available
// This line can be omitted if you use std::cout instead of cout
using namespace std;

int main ()
{
...

www.mindview.net has Bruce Eckels Thinking in C++ books (volumes 1 and 2) for free. The annotated solutions guide is $13, I'd recommend it (the books are also available in printed form too).
