Learning C++

Post by knifey »

Hello,
I'm learning C++ and following a tutorial. For the first task I was instructed to make the following file, compile/run it.

// my first program in C++
#include <iostream>

int main()
{
std::cout << "Hello World!";
}

I'm guessing I don't have something installed properly as it just makes codelite crash. I'm using win7 64bit, windows updates current. If somebody could guide me on setup etc I'd appreciate it.

CodeLite 6.0 Installer for Windows 8, 7, Vista and XP (wxCrafter included) with MinGW TDM-GCC 4.8.1 included (Direct Link) »

I installed codelite, opened a new page, pasted in the hello world program and hit compile.

P.S. the how to post thread includes instructions which require knowledge of codelite/c++ that I do not have. Between this post and the OP I have complied as best I can.
