Thread: New to C++

Hello to all,

I am a newbie to C++ and trying to get started with a tutorial book. My first hiccup is with my first program. I can't get it to compile. Heres the code:

Code:

#include <stdafx.h>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std ;

int main()
    {
        cout << "Never fear, C++ is here!" ;
        return 0 ;
    }

The error I receive is that the file "stdafx.h" cannot be found. I am working on a Mac OSX and have had no problems programming in C. Any suggestions would be great.

I have taken out that particular header file but have received other errors.

when i compile with the command:

gcc file.cpp -o file

I get the following error:

ld: can't open output file for writing: print1
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I tried compiling with a different output name but received a lot of other errors:

Undefined symbols:
"___gxx_personality_v0", referenced from:
___gxx_personality_v0$non_lazy_ptr in ccTcu6UL.o
"std::ios_base::Init::~Init()", referenced from:

"std::cout", referenced from:
__ZSt4cout$non_lazy_ptr in ccTcu6UL.o
ld: symbol(s) not found
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

any suggestions???

lol @ perator

Thank you for the help. I did not know that the terminal command would be:

c++ file.cpp -o file

I appreciate the help.
