This is good.  But if you next try compiling a simple "hello world" type
app, it should compile if you supply a file, i.e., 

gcc -o hello.exe hello.cpp // should give you a hello.exe program or
reasons why not

with hello.cpp being the sample "hello world" app of Stroustrup, Special
Edition, p.46:

#include<iostream>

int main()
{
 std::cout<<"Hello World\n";
}

It should compile and *not* give you the ENOENT error.

If you get ENOENT, there is a system issue -- something is not pointing
to your includes.  A commandline method of addressing the issue is to
use the include command when you compile/link,


gcc -o hello.exe hello.cpp -I ./subdir1/subdir2/includes
...........................^include switch with additional path to
search

then long filenames shouldn't be an issue, but then again.... could it
be a regional problem with the OS version you are using?  maybe
something I don't see with the version I'm at.  That could mean you need
to check more locally.

If you got the ENOENT message again, the next place to check is the .env
file or any other resource that points to where your includes are.  

In the meantime, glad it helped to some extent.  If you find out what it
was, I'd be interested to find out.
