Re: [cobalt-developers] GCC and C++ on my cobalt - cant use iostream.h library??

["Tom A. Cox" <tomc@xxxxxxxxxx>]

There really are two GNU compilers on your system; gcc and g++.  Use 'g++
test.cpp -o test'.  The default make rules (i.e. no makefile) would also work.

[tomc@css586 tmp]# make test
g++     test.cpp   -o test
