Compil error

[Cascade]

OS: Vista Ultimate 32-bit
CODE:(Doesnt make difference what code i use)

include<iostream>

include<stdlib.h> //only needed if you are using Dev 4 family

using namespace std; //where the names are - like cout!

int main(void)
{
cout << "This is what that putz Wayne said to do!\n";
system("pause"); //keep the window open if running from Dev
return 0;
}

  Okay, everything worked fine on my Xp systems, regarding to Dev-Cpp, but it doesn't want to work on Vista :(. It opens a new file called cstdef, and it has this in it:

ifndef _CPP_CSTDDEF

define _CPP_CSTDDEF 1

pragma GCC system_header

include <stddef.h>

namespace std
{
using ::ptrdiff_t;
using ::size_t;
}

endif

I don't know how to copy the compile log, but it just keeps saying unable to find cstdeef, and some other nonsense, and its 360 lines long.
If someone could also tell me how to copy the compiler, i could post it up here.

Thanks for your help!

"I don't know how to copy the compile log"

In the thread titled (not accidentally) "Please Read Before Posting a Question",
there is a section on the "Basic 3" that tells you how to post it (among other
things)

There is also a section in there on getting started with Vista, which causes some
issues for MinGW. Please check it out.

Thanks, will try it out.

Keep track of exactly what you do. This is important as you would be surprised
how many people think "I did just what they said", or "I followed the directions
to the letter" tells us enough to figure out what went wrong...

If you are still having problems, tell us, step by step, what you did.

Thanks,

I reinstalled to the 4.9.9.2 version, and did as this person said:

I went into the compiler options and then once more tried to see what would work. What worked for me was this:

1)add "C:\Dev-Cpp\libexec\gcc\mingw32\3.4.2" to the binaries location under the directories tab
2)go to the programs tab and add c:\dev-cpp\bin\ to all the listings.

so i go into directory, and add that file, no problem...

And i go to programs, and change all of them to: c:\dev-cpp\bin\

Now it says in the compiler window : The system cannot find the path specified

so what do i do now? :S

[Osito]

It kinda sounds like you changed them to c:\dev-cpp\bin\ rather than adding that to all the listings. Does your Programs tab say "c:\dev-cpp\bin\" or "c:\dev-cpp\bin\gcc.exe" for the first entry?

[Cascade]

This is what the actual compile log says:

Compiler: Default compiler
Executing c:\dev-cpp\bin...
c:\dev-cpp\bin\ "C:\Users\Cascade\Documents\Cpp Apps\advice.cpp" -o "C:\Users\Cascade\Documents\Cpp Apps\advice.exe" -I"C:\Dev-Cpp\lib\gcc\mingw32\3.4.2\include" -I"C:\Dev-Cpp\include\c++\3.4.2\backward" -I"C:\Dev-Cpp\include\c++\3.4.2\mingw32" -I"C:\Dev-Cpp\include\c++\3.4.2" -I"C:\Dev-Cpp\include" -L"C:\Dev-Cpp\lib"
