I have DJGPP v1.2. Once i wanted to write a simple test-program hello
cout << "HEllo\n"
compiler could not find reference to "cout"
i thought it's a distrubution's fault
however, I've got another on shareware disks, but problem was the same
today i've read some headers and found reference to "streambuf.h"
seams OK, but it's 9 signs, when DOS supports only 8
it worked ok, but I've got an idea, that when in /lib there's a libiostr.a
library, DJGPP is trying to refere to libiostream.a
I've run gcc hello.cpp libiostr.a and it worked as it should
but yet I must instruct gcc to use libiostr.a each time
what files to change to force gcc to use libiost.a each time, when
libiostream.a is required?
Thanx for any hints
I think this problem is widespread, 'cause shareware distributors are often
too lazy to check if there's no names-lenght problem after repacking their
archives
