To Cygwin gcc gurus,
I have downloaded the latest version of CygWin. When I
compile the following C++ program:
----------------------------------------
// Filename: Welcome.cpp
// A first program in C++
#include <iostream.h>
int main()
{
cout << "Welcome to C++!\n";
return 0;
}
----------------------------------------
gcc pops out the following error:
----------------------------------------
welcome.cpp: undefined reference to `cout'
welcome.cpp: undefined reference to
`ostream::operator<<(char const *)'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
----------------------------------------
I have been using Cygwin for a while, and have
compiled more complex programs than this on it before.
So my question is, how do I get Cygwin to compile this
program?
Regards
Craig Sproule

Use g++ to compile it, not gcc.

$ g++ -o hello2 hello2.cc
$ hello2
Welcome to C++!
I remember that if you use the extension .cc, gcc calls g++
automagically, but it doesn't work.

which is i believe because g++ invoked directly has an implied -lstdc++
if you do gcc -lstdc++ it will also compile just fine. Ofcourse g++ is
probably a better move for some reason... (other then reduced typing)

To Cygwin gcc gurus,
I have downloaded the latest version of CygWin. When I
compile the following C++ program:
----------------------------------------
// Filename: Welcome.cpp
// A first program in C++
#include <iostream.h>
int main()
{
cout << "Welcome to C++!\n";
return 0;
}
----------------------------------------
gcc pops out the following error:
----------------------------------------
welcome.cpp: undefined reference to `cout'
welcome.cpp: undefined reference to
`ostream::operator<<(char const *)'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
----------------------------------------
I have been using Cygwin for a while, and have
compiled more complex programs than this on it before.
So my question is, how do I get Cygwin to compile this
program?
Regards

Try

or
gcc Welcome.cpp -o Welcome.exe -lstdc++
