Help Pls: FATAL error...

[Xethoria]

I'm very new to Dev-C++, and whenever I write a simple program e.g. "hello world", or even use the build in "Hello World" examples it spews out:

Fatal: 'all-before' does not exist - don't know how to make it

It doesn't make sense (well not to me anyway). Anyone who can help?

The "hello world" example's code is below:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
  cout << "Hello World!" << endl;
  cout << "Press ENTER to continue..." << endl;
  cin.get();
  return 0;
}

Oh and this is version 4.9.8.0

Try this below:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main ()
{
cout << "Hello World!" << endl;
cout << "Press ENTER to continue..." << endl;
system("pause");
return 0;
}

Btw, you put arguments into
int main (" int argc, char *argv[] ")
means you want to execute the script by command line.

"Fatal: 'all-before' does not exist"

This is a somewhat common uncommon error.  The most common cause of this is that you have a Borland compiler in your path...Builder or Delphi, and the make being used is from that product and not from MingW/GCC.

Check your path and eliminate references to the Borland product...

When you have by the way a distinctive error message like

all-before

I recommend your first stop be the search box to search the Bloodshed forum (there are many more posts over there).  Search box is in the upper left of the web page, button labeled search..

I know there is plenty to find over there as I have worked with a goodly number of folks on this issue...
