C++ compiling error

[ShiunYean]

I've been having problem compiling C++ with Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Express Edition for a long time now.
Here's an example.

My code(Exactly the same as examples in the book):

Code: Select all

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
	cout << "Hello, I am your computer talking." << endl;
	return 0;
}

And I get this error:

Code: Select all

1>------ Build started: Project: Hello World!!, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------
1>  Hello World!!.cpp
1>e:\cppprojects\helloworld\hello world!!\hello world!!.cpp(1): warning C4627: '#include <iostream>': skipped when looking for precompiled header use
1>          Add directive to 'StdAfx.h' or rebuild precompiled header
1>e:\cppprojects\helloworld\hello world!!\hello world!!.cpp(10): fatal error C1010: unexpected end of file while looking for precompiled header. Did you forget to add '#include "StdAfx.h"' to your source?
========== Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========

But when I use the Visual Studio command prompt to compile it, it works perfectly.
Is it something that is wrong with the software?

add

Code: Select all

 #include "stdafx.h"

on the very top.

Thx! I keep trying to add it to the 2nd line, but it didn't work.
I even try adding it after using namespace std;

just wondering, how come hello world script require another header file? i thought iostream itself is enough already? and if the complier is vc++ shouldnt it be windows.h?

[Nerrazzuri]

It is the default header for VC++.

[happy125]

which means VC++ doesnt include those header files when compling? cause im using GNU GCC complier and hello world just require iostream.

Thats the precompiler header for VC++

i think i got it. thanks for ur help. btw just to let u know that ur link for DLL trainer links to the general programming page instead of the thread.

[Nerrazzuri]

It is not able to quote the whole thread with '[' and ']' so I just link them to general programming.
