[Brian]

Greetings:
I am trying to compile the following code via command line.
It compiles just fine in visual studio 2002 v7 so i took looked at the
properties and i

got the following command line options, but when i try to compile i
get the errors listed

below. Can anyone give me a suggestion on how to compile this program?

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main() {
cout << "Hello World" << endl;
return 0;
}

This newsgroup covers only the standard C++ language, of which compiler
command line options are not a part. Please consult a newsgroup where your
query is on topic, such as the microsoft.public.* groups.

#include <iostream>

The code is fine. The errors you get are due to either installation
issues or wrong command-line options you're passing to the compiler.

Alas, command-line options of different compilers are off-topic here.
Please ask in microsoft.public.vc.language or some other relevant
VC++ newsgroup.

In visual studio, endl is not suppported. I usually use ENDL and #define
ENDL "\n"

Don't be ridiculous. VC++ supports endl just fine.

Newbie alert!! Previous post is in error.
But please take Microsoft compiler questions to the Microsoft newsgroups.

Eh?? Are you sure about that? I've been using endl for ages with VC++.
Look it
up in MSDN library.

ok, please forgive me, I forgot to use std::endl, since I dont declare to
use a namesapce.
BTW, Which post is in error?

In addition to the fact that std::endl is supported just fine in all
versions of VC I've ever used, as other posters have already stated, I would
like to add that your macro is NOT equivalent to std::endl.

What std::endl actually does is insert a new line, and flush the buffer. So
your macro would need to be (if it would be needed, which it's not):
#define ENDL "\n" << std::flush

Ah... talk of endl and flush always takes me back to first year at Uni: my
programming course instructor would insist you have to use std::endl instead
of just "\n" in case the computer explodes right after the statement. Yep,
those were his exact words (well, not exactly, he said it in Dutch, but you
get the idea). ^_^

More realistically, I've had situations where a line would not show up if
the program terminated unexpectedly after the std::cout statement if I
didn't use endl or flush.

[gripping list of errors omitted]

There is a batch file provided in the installation called something like
vcvars.bat, if I recall correctly. This sets up the environment variables so
that the standard headers and the libraries can be found by the compiler and
linker. Run that batch file within the console session before executing
your compiler. Maybe that's your problem.. for some weird reason I didn't
get the urge to comb through the errors :-P

Good luck,
