Dev C++ Error 1

[personak]

I have this part of code:

ifstream tfile(textfile);
tfile >> word;

where textfile is a filename I have asked the user earlier. The program outputs:

...\Makefile.win [Build Error]  [Gloss2Lang.exe] Error 1

Dev C++ is not only evil, but is it also an abomination.

Aside from that, you probably forgot to include the fstream header.

In that case, you got one or more random errors. For example, linkers usually fail with an error if the name of the executable they are trying to create is the name of an executable that is already running.

ifstream is located in namespace std. do you have using namespace std; somwhere in your code? if not ifstream should be std::ifstream.
