[Dev-C++] Dev C++ on Windows XP

[Bhaskar S. <bh...@un...>]

Hi,

  I just downloaded and installed dev C++ for my windows XP machine. I
opened the hello project (hello world) and tried to compile it. But the
compiler is giving lots of errors saying that iostream.h is not available.
All the header files are there but the system is not able to recognize it.
Do I have to set some environment variables or something?? What do I need
to do? Your kind inputs in this regard would be appreciated.

<iostream.h> is deprecated. The latest C++ standard specifies using
<iostream> along with namespaces. cout, cin, cerr, all standard library
functions are in the `std' namespace. To access them, you would say
std::cout, or std::cin.

So your hello program would be

------- Start -------
#include <iostream>

int main()
{
    std::cout << "Hello, world.\n";
    return 0;
}
------- Stop -------

However, when you run it directly from the IDE, or from Windows explorer,
you won't see any output. Run the program from a console, or see the FAQ.
