HOW TO COMPILE CPP PROGRAMS IN UNIX ENVIRONMENT

The following is a simple cpp program. could any one help me how to compile this.

#include<iostream.h>
int main()
{
cout<<"Hello World";
return 0;
}

I tried like this in shell. but it is showing lot of things that i cannot decipher

$ gcc hello.cpp


and the error it gave is -

In file included from /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.1.2/../../../../include/c++/4.1.2/backward/iostream.h:31,
from hello.cpp:1:

Please consider using one of the 32 headers found in section 17.4.1.2 of the C++ standard. Examples include substituting the <X> header for the <X.h> header for C++ includes, or <iostream> instead of the deprecated header <iostream.h>. To disable this warning use -Wno-deprecated.

use "iostream" instead of "iostream.h"

to know whether gcc is installed or not, use this command

Code:

$ gcc --version

output

Code:

gcc (Ubuntu 4.4.1-4ubuntu9) 4.4.1

also dont use gcc to compile c++ pgm. g++ is the C++ compiler. hope it works

Code:

$ g++ sample.cpp

I made the respective changes as you suggested. but still it is giving the following error.

$ g++ hello.cpp

hello.cpp: In function âint main()â:
hello.cpp:6: error: âcoutâ was not declared in this scope

add this stmt before main function,

Code:

using namespace std;

Otherwise, instead of cout, use std::cout.

THANK YOU!
