DJGPP Doesn't include IOSTREAM!!!!!!!!!!!

I just downloaded DJGPP Friday, because I was getting frustrated with Dev-C++. Now I just noticed...IOSTREAM ISN"T IN DJGPP! I tried to copy Dev-C++'s iostream over into DJGPP's include directory. I kept coming up with some file is missing. I copy that file over. Then another is missing. Finally I copied Dev-C++ whole include directory over to DJGPP's. Still didn't work. I was tempted to hit my monitor.

The reason I need IOSTREAM is for cin. If you have an cin equivelent, plz tell me!

PS: If you are totally retarded and don't know what cin is, look at the tutorials.

Try using the gets() function with <stdio.h>

You can look up the definition here:

There are many other I/O functions in stdio.h that can be used as well.

Running Dev C++ and DJGPP does cause conflict on your computer. This is because both edit your autoexec.bat and both conflict over where header files are found. Try searching the DJGPP site to find iostream.h , or unistall it and reinstall if add the file and it still won't work.

Code:

---

#include <iostream.h>

int main()
{

  int num;
  cout << "enter a number" << endl;
  cin >> num;
  cout << "you typed " << num << endl;

  return 0;
}

---

Something like that should work under any C++ compiler.

Go here first.

You could also trying using istream.h and ostream.h instead of both header files in one...

#include <istream.h>
#include <ostream.h>

"Try using the gets() function with <stdio.h> "
eh...shouldnt it be puts()?

DUH! just realized he said 'cin' not 'cout'...sorry, gets() is right ;). cheers

Are you programming in c or in c++? You can`t use iostream.h
in c programs.

Are you sure you downloaded rights DJGPP files?
If you didn`t download c++ exentsion you can`t to c++ programs

It is impossible to get DJGPP work with another compiler include files.

frenchfry's right...I ditched DJGPP because it didn't include iostream...i bet this is a common problem, I re-installed DJGPP only 400 times:rolleyes:

With DJGPP, the command to run the C++ compile is gxx, not gcc

C program
gcc prog.c

C++ program
gxx prog.cpp

> It is impossible to get DJGPP work with another compiler include files.
This is (almost always) true for any pair of compilers.
Even with different versions of the same compiler, you're on a slippery slope.

> I ditched DJGPP because it didn't include iostream
It's here D:\DJGPP\lang\cxx\iostream.h
If it isn't then you didn't download it or install it.

Not true. Dev-C++ can run on the same computer as DJGPP because Dev-C++ doesn't modify autoexec.bat. It can get away with this because it reads an .ini file in its current directory for path info. This lovely little feature will even allow you to run multiple versions of Dev-C++ without conflict.

I would agree that you must not have downloaded all the components for DJGPP.

But why don't you like Dev-C++? Add the wonderful graphics and sound library Allegro and you can have fast, DirectX games for Windows with little effort. You don't have to complie the library anymore. I've set up an installer for the latest version of Allegro for Dev-C++ at my site: http://www.envy.nu/springsoft/main.html It's all point and click and only about 1.6MB.

(Of course, you may not like it for other reasons, so I'll stop shamelessly promoting my site now.) ;)

of course it does, I've just made a simple cout program and it works..

are you sure you installed it properly?

I ditched Dev-C++ because it's DOS programs are f***ed up. Never mind anyway, im just going to use getch(). You say, that only checks if one key is pressed. True. But in my program it's better that way, so you dont have to press U enter just to move up. I got it to where you just press U with getch().
