its there, now what? ...

Now, create a simple C++ program called hello.cpp.

code:

#include <iostream> int main() {    std::cout << "Hello, world!" << std::endl;    return 0; }

And compile it:

code:

C:\Directory\your\program\is\in> g++ hello.cpp -o hello.exe

Then run it with:

code:

C:\Directory\your\program\is\in> hello

You're in the C:\Windows directory. To change directories use:

code:

C:\whatever> cd target_directory

If that directory is on a different drive...

code:

C:\whatever> f:

To change to the F drive, as an example.
