I got very frustrated and erased djgpp. Now I'm starting over with the
newer version. I've decided not to use rhide until I can get djgpp to
work without rhide.


This command line:

  gcc -c -Wall hello.cpp

is supposed to produce the object file hello.o, but doesn't . Instead I
get this message:
hello.cpp:4: return type for `main' changed to `int'

What does this mean ?


here is hello.cpp:

#include <iostream.h>

   void main ()
      {
             cout <<"Hello world!\n";
                }


----------------------------------------------------------------
What happened when I went to the faq:

I searched for "return type for `main'" - no results
I searched  for "return type"- found section 22.24 "What should the main
function return in a C program? "
Does not seem to apply because I'm using C++
