Baffled!

[Mark Thomas]

Hi
I do not understand why the following does not compile under Visual C++
7.1. It is just a simple "Hello, World" program.

// Hello World Application. Why does this fail?

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main(int argc, char* argv[])

{

cout<<"Hello World"<<endl;

return 0;

}

MyFirstConsolApp.cpp(11) : fatal error C1010: unexpected end of file while
looking for precompiled header directive

This is not a language problem, but one with your IDE.
Look around the menus for 'Use Precompiled Headers' and
turn them off (learn about if, how and when to use them later --
see the help files). Further questions about the Visual C++ IDE
should go to newsgroup microsoft.public.vc.ide_general

Your code looks fine to me.

Try changing your project settings to "No Precompiled Headers".

Thanks guys. I found a setting and turned it off. Now my programs work.
Pretty sad when the first learning demo in the book will not compile.

I have tried to find a Visual C++ newsgroup, but all I found was
microsoft.public.USASalesInfo.Developer.C++
Maybe there are groups that my ISP does not carry. Sorry for the OT but I
was baffled.

Try msnews.microsoft.com, they have got plenty of newsgroups.
