did setting targetname to the full path of the executable you want 
created not help?

first, it is good practice to post the exact error messages you get: help 
others help you.

for C++ source, you can use gpp to compile and link with the standard C++ 
libraries using the command line:

gpp -Wall -O2 hello.c -o hello.exe

or you can explicityly specify the libraries on the command line using 
gcc.

by the way, make sure you use the standard C++ headers, rather than the 
old-style headers. the latter will cause gcc to issue warnings:

#include <iostream>

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