C++ in BeOS

[TaeShadow]

Has anyone here programmed in C++ in BeOS? I can't get it to work right. I installed all of the development tools following the readme exactly. I type the following program:


#include <iostream.h>

int main()
{
cout << "hello world!\n";
return 0;
}


I then compile it with g++. It gives no errors. I run it, and nothing happens. It takes me right back to the prompt. It doesn't print "hello world" or anything. Any clues?

Are you using just gcc in the shell, or are you using the Metrowerks IDE (BeDevTools). I made the same hello world app just now, in BeIDE, made it and ran it with no problems.
http://www.neo-programmers.com/ has some information for programmers new to BeOS. But you have to be careful, because some of the stuff was writen for BeOS R4, and some for R5. http://www.thegreenboard.com has forums for programers, both new and advanced.

Yes, I tried it in BeIDE, and it works perfectly now. I did some research on the issue, though, and discovered why it didn't print anything at the terminal. The reason is that BeOS will not print anything until it recieves an end-of-line (endl). The code should look like this:


#include <iostream.h>
int main()
{
cout << "hello world!" << endl;
return 0;
}


But, it's probably just better to use the IDE.
