[Dev-C++] Compiling problems with 4.9.7.0 and GCC 3.2

[Dany P. W. <da...@qu...>]

Hi everyone,

This problem has probably come up for discussion numerous times before.
It's certainly puzzled me to no end, being a learner at this whole C++
business.

I figured, by looking in the include directory, that I should use
iostream instead of iostream.h

That much seemed obvious but when I typed this typical beginner's code:

==================================
#include <iostream>

main()
{
    cout << "Hello world!";
    return(0);
}
==================================

I got some humangous amount of errors, 70 I think. I apologise for the
length of this log but I thought I better include it for the sake of
completion. You guys probably know this already.

The question is, where have I gone wrong? What's happening here? Any
help would be immensely appreciated.

Cheers,
Dany.
