First I want to say that Ive already read the FAQ and dint found any
solutions to my problem. Actually, I did found some solutions but none of
then worked.
Second, I pretty sure that my DJGPP is correctly installed: I got all those
files that the ZIP-Picker chose for me and installed then by the
instructions given in the README1st.
Third, I a complete begginer on all those C++ and DJGPP stuff. Actually, I
was trying to create my first C++ program.
Well, following the instructions of a tutorial I wrote, in Rhide, this
little code:
#include <iostream.h>
int main()
{
cout << "Hello!";
return 0;
}
Then the nightmare begun. I got an error saying that the compiler could not
find iostream.h. Ive searched my HD for the file and found it on
djgpp\lang\cxx-v31\backward\. Then I copied the file to djgpp\include (I was
supposed to do that?) and tried it again. This time, the compiler found
iostream.h, but it gave me an error saying that the file contains one or
more "deprecated" headers (What means "deprecated", anyway? ).
Then I decided tho look on the FAQ for an awser. he FAQ said that I should
download the file "gpp2952b.zip", and I did that and installed the pack. I
found a new subdirectory on djgpp\lang, called "cxx", and I found iostream.h
on it. Again, Ive copied this new iostream.h to the djgpp\include (again,
should I be doing this?) and tried to compile again. Well, now the compiler
can find the file, but it returns an absurd amount of errors in the
iostream.h file and in other file called streambuf.h. I wont bother writing
then all here because they are realy many and most of then say the same
things. Most of then are parse errors like:
"...\include\streambuf.h(189) Error: parse error before '{' token"
"...\include\iostream.h(57) Error: parse error before '&' token"
"...\include\iostream.h(114) Error: parse error before 'istream'"
And others like:
"...\include\iostream.h(180) Error: '_gcout' undeclared"
and etc.
It seems that the file I got is not working at all. And now I got no idea
what else could I do. DJGPP appears to be working correctly, aside from this
problem: I compiled and executed a little program just like this one using
stdio.h and printf instead of iostream.h and cout and it worked (I managed
to get a "Hello" on the screen).
Ive read the FAQs, the docs the infos and all that and Im still hopeless.
How can I learn C++ if I cant even get a compiler to work? I not sure that
the problem is only with iostream.h: maybe there is problems with other
readers too that I havent tried to use yet. Im realy desperated and this
mailing list is my last hope; if I cant get it to work I will give up on
using DJGPP.
Im sure Im doing something wrong, something realy stupid. I just need you
guys to point what exactly Im doing wrong. Please help me. Im using Rhide as
the IDE and running on Windows 95.
