What did the command line invoking the compiler look like? My guess is
something like:
gcc -o work work.cc
The problem with this is it doesn't know to link in the C++ libraries. Try this:
gxx -o work work.cc

gxx is the same as g++ on a unix box, just DOS doesn't allow `+' in a
filename. gxx automatically looks in the C++ libraries.
