I recently learned C++ after previously knowing C, and I wanted to convert
many library functions which I had created for C into C++ classes.

All was good until I went to compile the fist one with the command line:

C:\djgpp\bin\gcc.exe C:\WINDOWS\Desktop\VidClass\main.cpp -o
C:\WINDOWS\Desktop\VidClass\main.exe -lstdcxx

when I got errors such as:

c:\djgpp\tmp/ccciaqsg(.text+0xa0):C:\\WINDOWS\\DESKTOP\\VIDCLASS\\main.cpp:
undefined reference to `__eh_pc'
c:\djgpp\tmp/ccciaqsg(.text+0xa0):C:\\WINDOWS\\DESKTOP\\VIDCLASS\\main.cpp:
undefined reference to `__throw'
c:\djgpp\tmp/ccciaqsg(.text+0xa0):C:\\WINDOWS\\DESKTOP\\VIDCLASS\\main.cpp:
undefined reference to `terminate(void)'
c:\djgpp\tmp/ccciaqsg(.text+0xa0):C:\\WINDOWS\\DESKTOP\\VIDCLASS\\main.cpp:
undefined reference to `__rtti_si'
c:\djgpp\tmp/ccciaqsg(.text+0xa0):C:\\WINDOWS\\DESKTOP\\VIDCLASS\\main.cpp:
undefined reference to `__rtti_user'

I checked and these references are calls. I assure you that I created no
such functions as "eh_pc()" and such, and I have no idea where these come
from.

This happened when compiling with gcc, and I decided to try compiling with
gxx. It compiled fine.

However, I changed the source to #include<iostream.h>, and when it compiled
I got an ENOENT error saying that there was no such file as "streambuf.h". I
checked to see where it was and it was in "c:\djgpp\lang\cxx\". I have no
idea what is going on in both cases, and would appreciate any light anyone
could shed on this problem.

Thanks very much,
