I have recently downloaded the following version of g++ gcc-g++-3.4.2-20040916-1.tar.gz
I extracted all the files, and tried to compile the following simple script; #include "iostream.h" int main() { cout << "Hello...\n"; } I used the following command g++ hello.C -o hello this action caused numerous error messages. I suspect it had to do with the include statement, ie the compiler could no locate the include file. I tried adding the windows folder to the envirnoment variable path, but this did not solve the problem my past experiences with gcc (very dated) was that you added a number of folders to the path statement via the autoexec.bat file. I searched the newsgroups for a list of the folders to add but could not locate this information. I also noted that while Windows NT used an autoexec.nt file as a replacement for autoexec.bat, XP does not appear to have a similar file. SO I am assuming I would have to add this string to the environment variable under My Compuer-Properties- Advanced-Environment Variables appreciate any advice and tips.
