Error when compiling with Cygwin

[TuPLaD]

Hello,
I just made a little C++ console application:

#include "iostream"
using namespace std;

int main ()
{
cout << "Hello Mars !";
return 0;
}

But when i tryed to compile it with Cygwin.

gcc main.cpp -o main.exe

It gave me the following error:

I heard there is some new *modern* c++ language ?!

If you want to compile and link C++ code, use g++, not gcc. Since you
seem to be using windows, the name might be different (AFAIK, Windows
doesn't support '+' as part of file names).
It gave me the following error:

You made a screenshot of your compiler output!? Why not just paste it
into the message?

The last C++ standard version is from 2003, but except for a few minor
corrections, it's the same as C++98.

The name is g++ on Windows too.

No way am I clicking on a link like that...who knows what kind of virus I
might download!

If you've got a compiler error, either copy&paste it here, or at least tell
us what it says.

As opposed to what, the "ancient" C++ language? And what would it have to
do with the problem? Surely no change has been made to C++ that would cause
such simple code to fail when it used to work.

(By the way, the usual method of including standard headers is to enclose
the name in <> brackets, not "" quotes. I believe that using the brackets
causes the compiler to search for those headers differently than when using
quotes. No idea if that's your problem, though, because I don't know what
error message you're getting.)

This line should be: #include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main ()
{
cout << "Hello Mars !";
return 0;
}

But when i tryed to compile it with Cygwin.

gcc main.cpp -o main.exe

He can hit alt-prtsc, but he doesn't know how to copy/paste from a
command prompt applet. I wonder if 2> works in cmd?

Cheers!

#include "iostream"

I was about to post to tell the OP to use #include <iostream>
instead of #include "iostream", but after I saw that neither Rolf
nor Sharad reacted, I hesitated. I tried it, and indeed my
compiler didn't complain. Yet I was under the impression that
standard headers should be included with square brackets.

Stroustrup 9.2.1 says that for standard headers square brackets
should be used rather than quotes, but I couldn't figure out if
it is mandatory or just some guideline.

If I remember correctly, #include "somefile.h " means:
1) first search for somefile.h in the current directory, and if
that fails
2) search the system directories.
This would explain why my compiler accepted it.

However, #include <iostream> does not mean that there must be a
file called iostream: the name may be different, or there may be
no file at all, depending on the compiler.

Hence I believe that #include "iostream" may work on one
compiler, but is not portable, and should be avoided.

Did I miss something?

AFAIK there is only a draft, as the standardisation process is still
incomplete and new revision of the C++ standard is supposedly due this fall.

First of all ->
I didnt knew how to copy paste from Cygwin's window so i made a
screenshot
2) THERE DOESNT EXIST ANY ANY ANY ANY image virusses that can work
from a site, you will have to download & start it(yes it can go to
cache :]). So its not a virus.

Third -> I just compiled it in Linux, and it worked well :D
I started it, it gave me the text & stuff :]

Thx for your help all !
