[linker errors snipped]

You should have used "gpp" rather than "gcc":

gpp -Wall -Wno-deprecated test.cc -o test.exe

Unlike gcc, gpp links in the C++ library.  If you use "gcc" as your
command, you would have to list the c++ library explicitly, which you
didn't do.  And since you didn't, the linker can't find cout, etc., so
it complains, leading to your error messages.

(And Hans-Bernhard Broeker is correct that you need to get yourself
and up-to-date C++ textbook.  "iostream.h" has been deprecated (or, if
you're pedantic, simply nonstandard) since 1998.  Code it right and
stop using "-Wno-deprecated."  But that has nothing to do with the
linker error you got.)

Best regards,

Tom
