Post by: deepak643 on March 08, 2014, 01:23:35 am

When I include fstream, my program throws

fatal error: fstream: No such file or directory.

gcc or g++? .c or .cpp? Have you read the FAQ on the wiki.codeblocks.org?

I am using GCC (not g++).
Its a C program (.c).

I checked the FAQ in this forum.. the below is the thread I have found.. but i didn't find it useful.

Then why are you trying to use a c++ header? This is never going to work.

<fstream> is a C++ file. Are you trying to use the standard C++ file stram std::fstream? If so, then make a C++ project. For C projects you have to use <cstdio> and FILE*.

Correction <cstdio> is ALSO a C++ header, stdio.h is a C header.

I think he meant C projects to be compiled with a C++ compiler.

That means he has to use the "real" c-headers.
