    Hi,

    compile that for testing:

    Code:
    #include <iostream>
    
    using namespace std;
    
    int main()
    {
    
    cout << "Hallo" << endl;
    
    return 0;
    
    }
    Maybe it is a syntax error or something.

    best rgds, John C

    The first time you download c::b, you need the larger image, which contains IDE AND COMPILER.

    The smaller one is the IDE itself, which is being actively developed, and changes often.
    The compiler is pretty static, so you tend to only need to get that just the once.
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
