hi, all i'm trying to do is create a simple program to print something to the screen and it's saying invalid argument.

#include <iostream.h>

int main()
{
cout << "test";
return 0;
}


The errors are as follows:

Compiling: project1.cpp
no errors
Creating: project1.exe
The error was: Invalid argument (EINVAL)
no errors


Any help here??

How are you running djgpp to compile it? I think that means there's a bad command line argument.

hey, it's cool now, i worked it out, it meant that it could not rename a file... and i've singled it down to windows ME. anyway, i'm using the rhide compiler... so like, i click the [build all] button from the menu and it gets to the [make] part.. and returns that error... but it's all good i've worked it out... thanks anyway guys :)!

you obviously mean the rhide interface, not the rhide compiler, gcc is the compiler. i know it's pedantic, but if a newbie was to read that they might get confused.
