Code::blocks iostream

[carey]

C compilation works fine. But the compiler cannot locate the iostream header file.

||warning: command line option '-Weffc++' is valid for C++/ObjC++ but not for C [enabled by default]|
C:\Users\Nuun\Documents\testcode.c|1|fatal error: iostream: No such file or directory|

Just setting it up on Windows 7, using 64bit GCC. Configuration is tough...

Found the problem. Apparently, the GCC here does not support C++ yet (the 64bit version).

is that the default compiler that comes with codeblocks or is it a third party alternative?

Code::Blocks usually installs MingW along with the GNU Compiler Collection - environment variables, parameters and all.

Seems C++ still not working so I installed Eclipse and am trying to get into golang and racket (installed LiteIde and Racket too).

why not install codeblocks without the compiler and find a version of mingw that has full c++ support

Yes. Uninstalled mingw64. The settings conflict with the codeblocks settings otherwise.

Is C++ hated because the tools are so crappy? Or are the tools so crappy because C++ is hated?

if u are still having issues what about tryng another ide eg visual studio, the express versions are free and it works okay
