Well, in your code: > >#include<iostream> > > > > int main() > > { > > cout<<"\n hello world"; > > return 0; > > }
I see one thing wrong. The cout functions name comes from the standard namespace, so you either have to add: using namespace std; or qualify the name, i.e. std::cout I don't know if that is causing your specific problem, but I would give it a shot. When I am compiling test code by the way, I will just do g++ test.cpp and let it throw my code into a.exe, but I am also lazy.
