Hi group,
I have a real stupid problem but it is getting to me. My 'Hello World' program produces 6 pages of errors and warnings on compilation, and that is fine with me, but
I am not able to capture the output to a file.
I work from a DOS box under WindowsME.
Normally, I intercept error output like this:
C:\MinGW\bin\gcc.exe HelloWorld.cpp > error.txt
but with gcc it races over the screen and cannot
be captured. No 'tee' utility under DOS.
This is probably of-topic since it is DOS related but
in this mailing group others must have experienced
the same problem. If anyone can help? Thanks.

Try: C:\MinGW\bin\gcc.exe HelloWorld.cpp > error.txt 2>&1
That might not work either on WinME, in which case you would be best to obtain a shell that does understand '2>&1' and run your programs in that. (MSYS is one such shell - Google for 'MSYS' should do the trick.)
Alternatively, you might find the errors disappear altogether if you run: C:\MinGW\bin\g++.exe HelloWorld.cpp
Note also that you shouldn't have to specify the '.exe' in the command, and if you set your path environment variable appropriately (which should get taken care of during configuration/installation wrt the MSYS shell) you'll be able to simply run:
gcc Hello.c
or
g++ Hello.cpp
Hth.
Cheers, Rob
