The redirect works now without any error messages so I guess I'll never know why
it didn't work before.

Back to my original attempt to get djgpp to compile : This is my current version
of Hello.cpp:

#include <iostream.h>

int main (void);
 {
      cout <<"Hello world!\n";
 }

I believe this declares the main function in the correct way . However, when I tru
to compile it this does not create an hello.o program as it should. I get: :

C:\djgpp>gcc -c -Wall hello.cpp
hello.cpp:4: parse error before `{'

 What am I missing now ?



-----------------------------------------------
What happened when I went to the faq:

I Found:
8.3 GCC barfs on C++-style comments in C programs
Q: My C program compiles OK with Borland's C, but GCC complains about "parse error
before `/' " at a line where I
have a "//"-style comment.
I have no comments so I doesn't seem to apply

I Found:
8.21 What's wrong with sys/movedata.h?
Q: Whenever I try to compile a program that includes the sys/movedata.h header
file, I get "parse error" messages
from the compiler. Can't you guys make your system headers right?
My program does not include the sys/movedata.h header file so it doesn't seem to
apply
