C++ will not "build"

[AJK]

I recently loaded GNU C++ on my computer, the CD came with a book on programming. I loaded it, typed it, compiled, and ran a few simple programs and all was well. I few days later, I typed in a few more examples and noticed I could compile the code, and the message said that it compiled. But no executable file was created, nor were the other files created as well. It seems now the program will not "build". As far as I know, nothing has changed on my computer. Should I just re-load the CD?

Try to compile from the command line using "g++ -o program.exe program.cpp". That should definitely create an executable in the current directory.

Unless you're on Linux, in which case it's

g++ -o program.out program.cpp

And you should use -pedantic to disable non-ANSI C++ extensions.
