Bruce, I tried the new line before, after, and both before and after with the same error I received in my original post. Here is where I am now: #include <iostream> using namespace std; int main(int argc, char** argv) { cout << "Hello world!" << endl; return 0; } You mentioned a "wick...

Thanks, To Beem - I have a full installation and have downloaded and installed the devx412.sfs file To Bruce B. - I'll give that a try and hopefully it will work. Been very busy with that work thing and haven't had the time to get into this lately, but will this weekend. Thanks again for your help.

Hello All, I'm trying to compile the infamous "hello world" program in geany with the following: #include <iostream> int main(int argc, char** argv) { using namespace std; cout << "Hello world!" << endl; return 0; } And receive the following error: g++ -Wall -c "proj1hello.c...

Thanks for clearing that up for me. I guess it's off to the "dummies" books for a start.

I never liked to GOTO anything anyway

I've written several codes for MSoffice in Excel and Access in the VBA, my question is, is it a great stretch to writing code in C++?

I've never used C++, but I understand that VBA is based on C++.

If all the above is relatively true, then then where do I start?

Thanks

Thanks Paulh177,

I used that info to set up the seamonkey email program, now I don't have to use the browser to check my mail

Thanks Paulh177 for the link to forum member Gunny's instructions that I've posted below. First download and install the User Agent Switcher from Mozilla at: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/59 Once the add-in is installed close SeaMonkey or Firefox and reopen. Second on the Puppy desk...

I read in another forum that installing thunderbird in Linux allows the creation of hotmail emails and other assorted goodies. If this is true , I need to know how to install the tar.gz file.

Any help would be greatly appreciated
thanks

ok thanks, I just wanted to be sure I'm on the same page.

Your insight is much appreciated

Thanks for the response, I'm extremely new to Linux and Puppy and I like to tentatively make changes so I don't screw up the whole thing. :roll: If you don't mind answering a few questions: The lines you mentioned of: boot timeout 1 The "boot" line does not exist in the code I presented. S...

I have installed a full version of Puppy as a stand alone operation system with out windows. I wanted it to boot without having to select it in grub. I edited the menu.lst file and eliminated the other options, leaving linux as the default. I then unremarked the timeout line and changed it from 30 t...

Thanks Bugman, I downloaded the devx_412.sfs from here to the / directory, as per one discussion thread I read. I found the following steps from here : 2. Click on the devx_xxx.sfs in a ROX-Filer window to mount it. 3. Open a terminal in the mounted directory. 6. # cp -a --remove-destination ./* /mn...

Excellent information! Just a little add on...

for puppy 412 the line used should be cp -a --remove-destination ./* /mnt/home instead of cp -a --remove-destination ./* /mnt/hda2

Hi All, I've noticed many of the programs one downloads are in a .tar.bz2 or some other zipped format. Many instructions say to use the terminal. In these instructions there is a "make" command, which it seems Bash does not support. Is there a similiar command or is an area Puppy's version...

Thanks, Worked like a dream.

Back Again I am able to access my windows xp box with my puppy and can read the c: and any other shared folders.

Although, I cannot figure out how to access the puppy box from windows xp. I have the puppy name, but that still does not help, any suggestions?

I hope you don't mind, but after everything I went through to get my printer working. I thought I should post this solution so it can be easily found First, following the instructions here type the ln command as (LN), not as In (IN). In the Norton's Personal Firewall: Trust Control, Active Tab. (Thi...

Finally, I got it working and am able to print. The problem was in my Norton Internet security. In the Personal Firewall: Trust Control, Active Tab. (This should be your home network) Select it and click on Properties Select "Allow All network activity on this network" The URI I used was s...

I could kick myself, duh. I readdress the information at here and found my problem. Instead of typing the ln command (LN), I read it as In (IN). No wonder it didn't work. Ok so I now have the "Windows Printer via Samba" at the bottom of my device list. My printer driver was listed so now I...

Thanks for all your suggestions and help, I really appreciate them. Here is my latest attempts and their disappointing results My printer (HP officejet v40) is hard wired to my windows (XP) computer, this computer is hard wired to my router/modem combination. I am also running Norton internet securi...
