Unable to get a basic C++ program to compile on Cygwin on Windows 8

Question

I am new to Cygwin, Windows and C++, so please bear with me.

Here's the C++ program (try.cpp) I am trying to compile using Cygwin.

#include<iostream>
using namepsace std;

int main(void) {
        cout<<"Trying out CPP"<<endl;
        return 0;
}

Here's the version of Cygwin I am using (obtained using uname -r on the cygwin terminal) : 1.7.17(0.262/5/3)

Here's the command I am using to compile my program: g++ try.cpp

Here are the errors I get:

$ g++ try.cpp
try.cpp:2: error: expected nested-name-specifier before "namepsace"
try.cpp:2: error: `namepsace' has not been declared
try.cpp:2: error: expected `;' before "std"
try.cpp:2: error: expected constructor, destructor, or type conversion before ';' token
try.cpp: In function `int main()':
try.cpp:5: error: `cout' undeclared (first use this function)
try.cpp:5: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in.)
try.cpp:5: error: `endl' undeclared (first use this function)

FWIW, here's what I get when I do g++ -v (version of the g++ installed on my computer, I presume)"

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

You misspelled/mistyped namespace as namepsace.
