Ok, folks, I'm doing something wrong here, and I can't see what it is.

I try to compile this simple program:

struct test {
        char var1;
        int var2;
        char var3;
} __attribute__ ((packed));

void main(void)
{
        ;
}

I compile using:

gxx -o test.exe test.cc

I get:

test.cc:5: semicolon missing after declaration of `test'

It is obviously not recognising the extension "__attribute__". Since I
haven't specified to turn off Language Extensions, I can't see what I am
doing wrong.

Suggestions welcome!
