We are having problems getting gcc to compile a simple c++ program.
This is the program :
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
// File hello.c
#include <stream.h>
main ()
{
cout << "hello world";
}
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the compile sequence for this program :
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
C:\C\SOURCE\GCC\TEST>gcc -v -o hello hello.c
gcc version 1.37.1
cpp -v -undef -D__GNUC__ -Dunix -Di386 -D__unix__ -D__i386__ hello.c c:/pdsoft/
gcpp/tmp/ccAA_AAA.cpp
GNU CPP version 1.37.1
c:/pdsoft/gcpp/inc/_File.h:50: unterminated string or character constant
c:/pdsoft/gcpp/inc/_File.h:51: unterminated string or character constant
c:/pdsoft/gcpp/inc/_File.h:52: unterminated string or character constant
c:/pdsoft/gcpp/inc/streambuf.h:97: unterminated string or character constant
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
What is wrong ?
Thanks for any pointers,
Julian

I noticed, that dj's gcc suppoces c++ programs extension to be .cc, so try
to rename your program to hello.cc .

The compiler driver GCC.EXE requires the extensions .c for C-Sources .cc for C++ - Sources .s for AS - Sources .i preprocessor output other extensions are passed to the linker, e.g. .o, .a, .cpp (!), .c++ (!) To your problem: rename hello.c to hello.cc and try again.

The problem is caused by telling gcc to compile a C program rather than a C++ one. What you should use is: // File hello.cc and C:\C\SOURCE\GCC\TEST>gcc -v -o hello hello.cc ----- Regards, Clive Carter (crc@stl.stc.co.uk (+44) 279 429531 ext3646)

Thanks to all who replied regarding the problem with GCC and c++ files.
As was pointed out, GCC determines the file type by looking at it's extension.
Giving a c++ file the extension '.cc' solves the problem we had with this.
Thanks again,
Julian
