I was trying to compile using g++ on a simple program...

    Looks like the compiler is trying to look for the "libstdcxx" and
failed. I have that lib file libstdcxx.a located in djgpp/lib. I have
set the LFN to yes also (in djgpp.env file). What is the problem then?
(what is cccagxuh anyway?)

    I (foolishly) try to compile the same code using gcc...

    And it works.
    But gcc is NOT looking for libstdcxx.a. From the output, the file is
compiled as C++
    Prob. I am getting confused about gcc/g++ and all those compiler
stuff, could someone tell me what's wrong?



THIS IS THE SRC CODE.


// PROG3_1.CPP - whats up standard version
#include <stdio.h>

// main entry point for all standard DOS/console programs
void main(void)
{
printf("\nWhat's up world!\n");
} // end main
