Re: [Dev-C++] newbie question on header files

[Luigi S. <gi...@li...>]

Hi,

I think that the errors you get are related to the fact that "g++" is 
unable to locate the C++ standard include files on your system, you should 
explicitly tell the place using the "-I" option.

If you plan to use "gcc" from the command line I suggest you look for some 
file describing the options. As Mr. Hardman says, there are many places 
where you can find such files, try the home page of Dev-C++, there should 
be some link, or try http://www.delorie.com/gnu/docs

In my opinion, before moving to Unix, be sure you know how to use an editor 
and  also read something about "make" and "gdb".

As for other compilers, a good one (I mean pretty much ANSI compliant, but 
it works on Windows/Dos only) is the Borland one, you get it by downloading 
the Borland free command line tools package (see http://www.borland.com, 
and from there work your way to the right page). The package comes with the 
file bcb5tool.hlp that explains how to use the tools.

I myself use gcc (or bcc), most of the times, from the command line; to 
save me some typing I have developed two small, very simple programs (one 
for compiling a single file, the other for generating simple makefiles), 
they are available (as sources) at www.geocities.com/gisan1 follow the link 
clt_gnu. The programs use ANSI C(89), and it is not hard to modify them so 
that they can be ported to Unix (I will be writing a Linux port of them 
shortly after Christmas).If you need some help (or if you want the binary 
form of the programs), let me know: I'm a newbie myself, but I'll do what I 
can.

I hope the above is of some help.
