Just starting with programming and I'd like to use Emacs (on Linux), the reason for this is that I'm reasonably familiar with Emacs as a text editor and I'm comfortable with it. I entered the simplest code I could possibly think of:-
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
std::cout<<"Emacs is the best";
return 0;
}
and I got back:-
/tmp/ccxD67Ki.o: In function `main':
code.cc:(.text+0x14): undefined reference to `std::cout'
code.cc:(.text+0x19): undefined reference to `std::basic_ostream<char, std::char_traits<char> >& std::operator<< <std::char_traits<char> >(std::basic_ostream<char, std::char_traits<char> >&, char const*)'
/tmp/ccxD67Ki.o: In function `__static_initialization_and_destruction_0(int, int)':
code.cc:(.text+0x41): undefined reference to `std::ios_base::Init::Init()'
code.cc:(.text+0x46): undefined reference to `std::ios_base::Init::~Init()'
/tmp/ccxD67Ki.o:(.eh_frame+0x12): undefined reference to `__gxx_personality_v0'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
The thing is I then copied and pasted this into Code::blocks and it ran fine!
