starting C++

GCC has it's uses, no arguing with that. It's free and *nix is built on it. But it's not the best optimising compiler out there.

I never said it was, in fact I said that gcc doesnt even come close to being the best optomizing compiler out there. The reason I use it, is because of those other nice features you mentioned.

Off-topic, but look at it this way...why do people still use QB, despite PB being 99% compatible and 50x more powerful? The IDE. Plain and simple.

Thats what I dont get, the IDE isnt tied to the compiler. QBasic code can be compiled from the command line, so why not use a customizable IDE and use it to invoke the QB compiler?

I personally dont like IDEs, because I can get the same features by using a text editor and tools like grep, sed and find.

I know...it doesn't always make sense to me either. But it's the way it seems to be regardless...hell, I still use the QB IDE, despite having not only my own custom-made IDE, but my own QB-like compiler (the only reason I don't use OBDS for regular development is because it's still a WIP and doesn't yet have all the features I need for real dev).

It says it can't compile without the obj file?

.CPP ->compile-> .OBJ ->link-> .EXE

Compiling only produces an OBJ file, it's the linker that needs OBJ files.

Can you describe exactly what happens? Does it compile successfully then fail to link, or what?

I run Windows XP, and whevever something stops running, i.e. a proggy I write in OpenWatcom, it closes! Thus, before it even shows up on screen, it ends! :x

Does anyone know how to get this to stop? Any help would be very welcome.



Thanks in advance,
Andrew

Two ways. Add this at the end
(youll probably need <stdio.h>)

Code:

system("PAUSE");

or run you proggy from the command line.

TC SUCKS. It can't use UGL :'(

Not even allegro =(

[na_th_an]

In fact it can use both. Allegro 1.0, of course And UGL can also be used.
