I installed the 64 bit version of Eclipse for C++ today. I checked to make sure I have a 64 bit version of Java, which I do, it's version 1.6_29

I'm running a MacBook Pro with Lion 10.7.2 on an Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 8 GB of DDR3 RAM.

I read the posts I'm supposed to read as a newbie and I opened up the ini file and did the -vm fix, but the error messages didn't change.

I can start up Eclipse, but when I tested it with a simple program I get errors that appear to be related to the #include directive. Here's the code for the program:


//============================================================================
// Name : JavaTweak.cpp
// Author :
// Version :
// Copyright : Your copyright notice
// Description : Hello World in C++, Ansi-style
//============================================================================

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
cout << "!!!Hello World!!!" << endl; // prints !!!Hello World!!!
return 0;
}

And here are the error messages:

Description Resource Path Location Type
Symbol 'cout' could not be resolved JavaTweak.cpp /JavaTweak/src line 13 Semantic Error
Symbol 'endl' could not be resolved JavaTweak.cpp /JavaTweak/src line 13 Semantic Error

Anyone know why I'm having problems or what is the fix? THANKS!

No matter about Java, this is still a C/C++ problem. Eclipse is running
okay; it's something to take up with the Eclipse CDT forum?
