I'm a nub trying to get this compiler to run a example program but when i try to run an example program it doesn't run when i click on compile&run

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
char quit;

quit = '\0';
while (quit != 'q')
{
cout << "Hello ! This is a console app." << endl;
cout << "To create a console, go to Project Options and select" << endl;
cout << "\'Win32 Console\'." << endl;
cout << "Press q to quit " << endl;
cin >> quit;
}

return 0;
}
That's what i paste onto the page but the compile log says this

Compiler: Default compiler
Building Makefile: "C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\willie\Dev-Cpp\Examples\Hello\Makefile.win"
Executing make...
make.exe -f "C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\willie\Dev-Cpp\Examples\Hello\Makefile.win" all
Execution terminated

And the compiler tab says that it's unable to run program. What am I supposed to do?

It's quite possible Dev-C++ is screwing up the makefile. For a program this simple you don't need a makefile.

Save the code you showed us in a text file called "hello_world.cpp". Open a CMD window ("Start" -> "run" -> "cmd"). Navigate top the file. Use the ffollowing commands.

code:
g++ hello_world.cpp -o hw.exe
hw

umm i think that it should be #include <iostream.h>. u forgot the h in yours.

But u might be using a different compiler so u dont need the h but just in case try it.

JR, iostream and iostream.h aren't (exactly) the same. The way he's using it is fine, on any compiler I believe, assuming he has it in his include folder (which he most likely does).

code:
#include <iostream>


Is the proper way of doing things.

code:
#include <iostream.h>


Is obsolete.
