You can find all the header files you are requesting? Were they
installed via YaST or by yourself? The header files do not need to be
in your path, the compiler and linker look for them in particular
places. As long as you installed via YaST, they should be correct. Do
you have an example?

AN example of what, Kevin?

Let me phrase it this way: I have a program I have been using since 4.1.3
was released. I have not had a problem with compiling it. I installed
SuSE 11.0 and the mandatory C/C++ files. I am unable to compile the
program at all now.

If I write a simple Hello_world program with just "Hello WOrld!" (the std
did I do things right? program), with just cout and endl using stdio.h
and iostream.h, I get compiler errors. Subsequent searches show that, for
whatever reason, the stdio.h file is in the /usr/include direcotry (as
expected), but the iostream.h header is nowhere. There is a iostream file
(simple text file), but no iostream.h file to be found.

Here is the error I get:
g++ -g -c -Wno-deprecated hello.cpp
hello.cpp: In function 'int main()':
hello.cpp:5: error: 'cout' was not declared in this scope
hello.cpp:5: error: 'endl' was not declared in this scope

Here is the source code:
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <iostream.h>

main() {
cout << "Hello World!" << endl;
exit(0);
}


This program, after all, IS NOT rocket science. Is it? ;)

I have been doing C/C++ code for many years but this is quite irritating.
Nothing in the readme files have mentioned a change in the libraries.
Besides, who the hell would do that and break other applications that
currently work?

Thanks for helping.

Joe

It's been a few years since I have done any intensive C or C++
programming, although I did stumble through getting wm2 to compile
under 11.0. I'm mostly doing Perl these days and when I *do*
need to delve into C/C++, I tend to use KDevelop so I don't have
to remember so many things . . . ;-)

First of all, from what I remember, in C++ the headers don't use the .h
extension -- <iostream.h> should be <iostream>. I tried this out with
your code and that is still true. Also, I don't think using stdlib.h is
correct for C++ anymore, but I could be mistaken on that one and I
don't remember what the replacement is called (although I suppose it
could be found in the docs or web).

You also need a namespace declaration, which is no longer optional;
although there might be a compiler switch to turn this off. Add in

using namespace std;

and it should work. Here is how I modified your code:

----------------------------------------------------------------
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

main() {
cout << "Hello World!" << endl;
exit(0);
}
----------------------------------------------------------------

and that should compile, with or without the '-Wno-deprecated' switch.

The GNU compiler folks tend to make lots of changes between versions,
but I believe it's mostly to get, or keep, current with the standards.

The GNU compiler folks! :-) But, in their defense, they usually have
switches to mimic previous behaviors.

You're most welcome . . .

I had heard mention of using the namespace std declaration. The company I
use to work for (thank you outsourcing of American Engineering jobs) did
all of our development on older versions of RedHat, and thus C/C++. Ergo
my compiler is, a tad outdayed, compared to what is now SOTA.

Thanks for your help Kevin!

Most appreciated,

Joe

Okay... this does compile. They problem I am seeing now is that when I
attempt to run it, I get the following:
/hello.o
../hello.o: Exec format error. Binary file not executable.

When I check the file type, it looks okay:
joec 15% >file hello.o
hello.o: ELF 32-bit LSB relocatable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped

The compiler is v4.1.2 (on my ISPs machine. Mine is still reloading due to
a kernel panic).
