(SOLVED) #include <x> not working, c++

[Speedicus]

Running Windows 10, CodeLite version 8.1, Mingw32/64, TDM GCC 64, Not self compiled as far as I know.

The problem is that whenever I try to manually use #include <x>, where x is the library (or whatever you call it, sorry I am new to the langauge). Iostream, ctime, and others do not work, which is hindering my progress. I also submitted this as a issue via github.

Build Output:

Code: Select all

Actual Code:

Code: Select all

#include <stdio.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <ctime>


int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
	printf("hello world\n");
	return 0;
}

You should change extension of your files to .cpp
It is currently compiler as C (not C++) with simple extension .c

that's why C header `<stdio.h>` is included but not C++ header `<iostream>`

Wow, your right!

I put this together this morning when I was on mobile and couln't reply/test my theory out, but thanks for confirming. This does make sense as my teacher is working on C with us right now.

Coolio.
