What do I need to compile a cpp file?

[lumingzuiku]

My source code is faily simple as below:

#include<iostream>

using namespace std;

int main(void)
{
cout<<"Hello World!"<<endl;
return 0;
}


But compiler gave me some error messages like this:
/tmp/ccNfUm8H.o: In function `main':
1.cpp.text+0x25): undefined reference to `std::cout'
1.cpp.text+0x2a): undefined reference to `std::basic_ostream<char, std::char_traits<char> >& std:perator<< <std::char_traits<char> >(std::basic_ostream<char, std::char_traits<char> >&, char const*)'
...........

I used cpp to compile my code, is it the right thing to compile C++ files?
thx a lot!

gcc <filename> -lstdc++

ought to do it...

[xenmax]

you can also try

g++ <filename>

god....can't start X now....

Can't help you with X, but to compile make sure you have build-essential installed

sudo apt-get install build-essential

and then simply type

g++ file.cpp
