What do you mean by the latest version? The beta version? 5? I'm using 4 and the code I posted with "<iostream.h>" works and has always worked for me.

4.9.7.0

I'm downloading updates as I type... will post with result after!

Nope :

The top line of

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
cout << "hello, world" << endl;
cin.get();
}


is made all red and a load of errors appear like :
C:\Dev-Cpp\include\c++\iostream:44
bits/c++config.h: No such file or directory.


According to dev cpp, i'm using version 4.9.7.8 .

Any help will be appreciated, and I know this is a great program and I wanna use it

Have you checked the compiler options that I wrote about?

I am missing the last one, I was hoping the update may fix this. Any other ideas? I do have a copy of Metrowerks Codewarrior 5, but it's slightly different.

Just add the last path to your compiler options and it should compile OK. The dev-cpp directory will be the same as for the others.

You star It's all working and hoo.exe ran but the window closed before I could see hello world .
Any line of code i should add to get a 'press any button to continue'?

Thank you ever so much, I am really looking forward to programming in C++ now, my first compiled language

The answer is in the previous posts. Dev-c++ will close the console window as soon as the program terminates, so all you have to do is out in a command that stops it from terminating until you're ready. Simplest is just:

cin.get();

This will wait for you to press enter. In some instances you may want to add the following:

cin.ignore(1000,'\n');
cin.get();

Good luck!
