[C++] First program and it won't compile

Code (Text):

1. /*
2.    This program displays "I love C++" to the Standard Output
3. */
4.  
5. #include <iostream>
6.  
7. int main ()
8. { std::cout << "I Love C++";
9.  return 0;
10.  }
11.  

I was following a book from 2003 and trying to adjust to changes since most of the websites, programs, and downloads they use and mention are gone or so outdated they don't work anymore.

I did manage to get Dev C++ 4.9.9.2 to compile. I typed in the above code and when I click on compile it says "Source file not compiled"

I don't know what I'm doing wrong and if you need more information I can tell you but I don't know what else I could tell you that would help right now.

 

Did you read the manual?

 

Alright, well, I just did compile/run on Dev C++, and it ran fine.

Do you have all the basic libraries/header files and such included? (They *should* be by default, but it doesn't make any sense if that can't compile source code.)

 

You have to save your program in .cpp format not in .c(Dev c++ doesnt take .c correctly).

After saving then try again it should work!!

 

Well this is probably the problem and I didn't see anything about this on their site when I downloaded it.

I clicked compile alone. Clicked run alone. Clicked Compile & Run alone. They all didn't do it for me.

Here is the log

Code (Text):

1. Compiler: Default compiler
2. C:\CPPFiles\ILoveCPlusPlus.cpp
3. Compiling
4. Done.
5.  

 

What operating system are you running?

 

Windows 7 64-Bit

 

Hm, try looking into this http://www.pmohan.org/content/view/36/1/

 

Thank you Zero! That fixed the problem. Now I can continue learning.

 

So if I wanted to continue just doing everything on 64-bit I should look for a new compiler? Or is 64-bit the actual problem?
