We are having problems getting gcc to compile a simple c++ program.
This is the program :

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
// File hello.c

#include <stream.h>

main ()
{
    cout << "hello world";
}
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

This is the compile sequence for this program :

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
C:\C\SOURCE\GCC\TEST>gcc -v -o hello hello.c
gcc version 1.37.1
 cpp -v -undef -D__GNUC__ -Dunix -Di386 -D__unix__ -D__i386__ hello.c c:/pdsoft/
gcpp/tmp/ccAA_AAA.cpp
GNU CPP version 1.37.1
c:/pdsoft/gcpp/inc/_File.h:50: unterminated string or character constant
c:/pdsoft/gcpp/inc/_File.h:51: unterminated string or character constant
c:/pdsoft/gcpp/inc/_File.h:52: unterminated string or character constant
c:/pdsoft/gcpp/inc/streambuf.h:97: unterminated string or character constant
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

What is wrong ?

Thanks for any pointers,

Julian
