Name your c++ files .cc (.cpp will also work, IIRC, but it isn't recommended, read the info-files of gcc) and compile them with gxx/g++/gpp For example hello.cc: #include int main() { cout << "Hallo, this is simple, ain't it" << endl; return 0; } could be compiled with: gxx -o hello.exe hello.cc If this doesn;t work, post the output of the compilation (add -v to the commandline of gxx/g++/gpp for extra information needed to debug your problem). This all is also in the FAQ, sections 8.4 and 8.7, always usefull to read (it's in v2/faq211b.zip on simtel). hth, Robert. -- rjvdboon AT cs DOT vu DOT nl | "En dat is niet waar!" sprak ex-Staatsecretaris- www.cs.vu.nl/~rjvdboon | van-Onderwijs Netelenbos fel.
