Title: <iostream> not found, already searched the fourm
Post by: i3ear on October 09, 2011, 10:39:30 pm
Hello, I am a C++ noob, but I am pretty sure this isn't my fault.
This is what I am trying to compile
Code
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
cout << "Hello World I am " <<8<< " Today!" << endl;
} ///:~
This is the error I get
Code
F:\Documents and Settings\(herpderp)\Desktop\Untitled1.c:1:20: fatal error: iostream: No such file or directory
I have Ming installed on the top folder of the F: drive, on my main partition, but it just won't fucking work.

I have searched the forums myself, and using the advice I reinstalled codeblockers and ming seperatly, setting the compiler directory to Ming, but to no avail.
Is it my fault is it the fault of the program? I have no idea here. :(

Maybe you should invest some time in your search-fu.

Because you've not found our FAQ and especially this item: http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=FAQ#Q:_How_do_I_troubleshoot_an_compiler_problem.3F (it is mentioned in almost every such topic!).

Alrighty did that, now where the fuck is that log? I just keep getting the same error even though I did what the FAQ told me to do, I just got the exact same error. Oh and I also reinstalled it this time too, using the Code Blocks installer to install Ming this time, like the first time.

You need to read the link posted!

Remember the file extension matters: *.c is compiled as C file, *.cpp is compiled as C++ file. Read more

Please behave yourself!
The log has the pretty strange and unusual title "Build log"  :shock:, I guess it is normal for people to not see it  8)

Hi, I think I was in the same shoes as you are. When you create your project choose "console application", in the next window C++, and when you name your project and C::B offers a filename automatically change this name from [name].cbp to [name].cpp ! Good luck!

Don't do that, it's complete bullshit (sorry).

Chose cpp as file-ending, if you create a C/C++-file ("File -> New -> File... -> C/C++-Source", but not ( n o t ) for your project-name.

Listen to Jens! 1. Because I meant the filename too (I've tried to describe it that way but seemingly failed...) 2. He seems to talk more sense than I. :) Sorry if I said something "complete bullshit", I'm sure there is a more sophisticated way.
