[Mingw-users] Installation problem

[Karsten W. <k.w...@gm...>]

Hi,
I have a problem compiling my "hello-World"-program.
I downloaded the actual package, mingw2.0.0-3.exe, installed it in c:\mingw,
included C:\MinGW\bin in the path variable, and called

g++ main.cpp

with main.cpp:
//////////
#include <iostream>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
  cout<<"Hello World"<<'\n';
  return 0;
}
//////////
It produced a long error message. Here is the last part of it (I could not
redirect it into a file):

C:/MinGW/include/c++/3.2/bits/type_traits.h:54:28: bits/c++config.h: No such
file or directory
In file included from C:/MinGW/include/c++/3.2/bits/stl_algobase.h:73,

                 from C:/MinGW/include/c++/3.2/iostream:45,
                 from main.cpp:1:
C:/MinGW/include/c++/3.2/bits/stl_iterator_base_types.h:100: parse error

declaration of `typedef _Tp std::value_type'
C:/MinGW/include/c++/3.2/bits/stl_iterator_base_types.h:106: confused by
earlier errors, bailing out

I tried to set some environment variables, but without success. It is a
difficult problem for me since I am new to C++ and MinGW. It would be very
nice if someone could give me a hint of how to make MinGW work on my PC.

Kind regards,
Karsten.
