4. g++ myfile.cpp compiles C++ code

C++ and C are very different languages, compilers that expect C (gcc) will not compile C++ code.
ok, this is sort of a misconception. gcc compiles both. I just finished an ADMIN control area in C++ with the .cpp extension and compiled it with gcc without problem. but in response to the actual problem here, id just use this line.
we'll call the source EXAMPLE.cpp, and the output will be EXOUT."file".

gcc -lg++ -Wall -pedantic -ansi -g -o EXOUT EXAMPLE.cpp


this is a good choice for debugging and compiling, it calls upon the normal system area for #include header files, uses the Wall function for the debugging side of things, ansi for ..... ansi compatibility i think and the -o gets rid of the a.out leaving you with the desired file, with the blank extension for linux/Unix.... hope that helped..Pe@cE

g-wrap-config(1)					      General Commands Manual						  g-wrap-config(1)

NAME
g-wrap-config - script to get information about the installed version of G-Wrap SYNOPSIS
g-wrap-config [ --version ] [ --c-compile-args LANG | --c-link-args LANG | --guile-module-directory ] DESCRIPTION
g-wrap-config is a tool that is used to configure and determine the compiler and linker flags that should be used to compile and link progams, libraries, and plugins that use G-Wrap. However, since G-Wrap 1.9, this tool has been deprecated in favor of pkg-config(1). New code should use the g-wrap-2.0-guile pkg-config module, g-wrap-config only exists for compatibility reasons. OPTIONS
--c-compile-args LANG Print the compiler flags that are necessary to compile a program or library that uses the G-Wrap language binding for LANG. --c-link-args LANG Print the linker flags that are necessary to link a program that uses the G-Wrap language binding for LANG. --version Prints the currently installed version of G-Wrap on standard output. EXAMPLES
gcc -o main.o $(g-wrap-config --c-compile-args guile) main.c is how you might use g-wrap-config to compile a C source file for an executable program. gcc -o my_app $(g-wrap-config --c-link-args guile) main.o util.o is how you might use g-wrap-config to link compiled objects into an executable program. AUTHOR
G-Wrap has been written by Andreas Rottmann, Rob Browning and Christopher Lee. This manual page was written by Andreas Rottmann, originally for the Debian Project. G-Wrap 1.9 2005-05-01 g-wrap-config(1)
