wcout' is not a member of `std'

WinXP P3 MinWing-GCC-3.4.3
When compiling the program below, I get a message that reads:

wcout' is not a member of `std'

What am I doing wrong?
This message popping up too often!! >:(

TIA


#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
#include <wchar.h>
#include <vector>

using namespace std;
// This C function is the combined effort of the folks from
// comp.lang.c++
// Special thanks to John Harrison for his outstnding
// partisipation

std::wstring ctow(const char* src){
std::vector<wchar_t> dest(CHAR_MAX);
int i = mbstowcs(&dest[0], src, strlen(src));
return std::wstring(&dest[0]);
}
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
const char* str = "hola";
std::wstring wstr;
wstr = ctow(str);

std::wcout << wstr ;

std::cout << std::endl;

system("PAUSE");
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

What is MinWing? You mean MingW?

Compiles fine with GCC 3.3.4 and 3.4.4 under Linux here.

Thanks for the help, and for putting up with my shortcomings. <:(
I will dig a bit more in this matter.

At least I know the code works, perhaps there is a problem with the
MingW implementation of GCC.
Again, thanks.

Yes, I was right. I am not the only one having this problem.
There at least one more programmer with this problem: see
http://groups.google.ca/group/comp.l...2da18abd63381b

How about Borland C/C++ compiler, does it support wstrings?

TIA

You're not doing anything wrong. That compiler+library simply doesn't have
std::wcout.

Thanks for your reply!!
Yes, this is really terrible, I counting cigwin or MingW for this work,
but apparently BCC55 has the same problem, is there around this
problem?

If you're willing to pay money, there is.

You could try STLPort.
