difference between c++ in windows and linux

gtgoku · 10-25-2003, 10:53 PM

I used kate to type in the following code in linux:

#include<iostream.h>
void main()
{
cout<<"hello";
}

and saved it as hello.cpp

and compiled it as

g++ hello.cpp hello.name

and it gave a lot of errors please tell me where have i gone wrong

the same program works when compiled using borland c++ in windows.

Help me please

i changed "void main()" to "int main()" and

% g++ hello.cpp -o hello
compiled. then,

% ./hello
outputs "hello". '-o' specifies the executable output object. i've never programmed on Windows nor do i have any interest.

remember to always include the "errors" in your messages, otherwise other people must explicitly ask.

/*you have to use namespace std, is the new standard

try this */:

#include <iostream> // NOT IOSTREAM.H

using namespace std;

int main ()

{

cout << " hello " ;

return 0; // YOU FORGOT THIS

}

Without using namepspace std you would have to:

std::cout << "Like oh my gosh!" << std::endl;

And it should be the same in windows. You may have a sloppy compiler.

Thanks all of you
is there any place where i can learn c++ programming in linux,
google did't help me much.
I did't thinks programming c++ in windows and linux would vary soo much.
if just a simple program has so many diff. then surely there should be a lot more changes for more complicated programs.
