Hi,

I am having some problems while installing c++ on Windows.
I have tried with
http://www.mingw.org

in order to use g++ in my system.
The main problem is that the g++ over the command line doesn't find the
libraries as
stdio.h

can you help me?

thanks a lot,

MArcelo

This group is about C++ _language_, not about it's compilers and
implementations so this is off-topic

But,

1. you might want to get devcpp (google, first link) it contains mingw
(easy to install) and it provides IDE (with editor and so on)

2. in free time, why not get a real operating system that includes g++
compiler by default - go to https://shipit.ubuntu.com/ and you will
redive 100% free (even without costs of transport) a CD (or serveral of
them - give to friends) with linux (ubuntu distribution). It is quite
easy to use by newbies. Although this IS an operating system, so
installing it requires time and free hard disc partition or better yet a
separate hard disc.

Oh god, I hate blunt ignorant os advocacy. That obnoxious comment
doesn't actually help the OP if it's windows he wants to develop on.
Please leave out item 2 in future posts, this is not
comp.os.linux.advocacy.

MingW has a confusing distribution system. If you are a beginner you
may look at MinGW Developer Studio (simple VC++6-like IDE + MingW g++
3.4.2).

Look at http://www.sgi.com/tech/stl/ where you can download the STL library
and stdlib also (so, stdio.h). try the link : IOstreams
library(experimental). (why experimental, I don't know ...)

Don't forget when you compile to indicate g++ the paths of the include
directories (using -I"/include/directory") and the lib directory.

But it would be easier to use dev-cpp, or Visual C++ Express edition (which
is free, you just havec to register with an passport / hotmail e-mail
account) : http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualc/.

Threfore I dont write WHY linux IS better, only suggested an option to
get a nice c++ compiler built into the system.

You can download a alternatic++-Compiler an http://www.bloodshed.net.
This makes no problem by Installing on Windows!

The OP asked about installing a compiler for Windows. You advised him to
install Linux ("a real operating system"). There could hardly be a clearer
case of gratuitous Linux advocacy.

I know, it's the devil-company, but if you want a windows-c++ compiler
I recommend
the new VC++ Express Edition from MS.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualc/

It's for free totay and this is, sorry, a real good compiler.
