Code::Blocks Compilation Errors

Question

I'm having some problems with Code::Blocks, and this is the output after / while compiling;

3|iostream: No such file or directory|
4|error: syntax error before "namespace"|
|In function `main':|
8|error: `cout' undeclared (first use in this function)|
8|error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once|
8|error: for each function it appears in.)|
||=== Build finished: 5 errors, 1 warnings ===|

My code is as follows;

// my first program in C++

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

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

This won't fix it but you should say using namespace std;, although that's not recommended. — Open AI - Opting Out

You Have to Create Console C++ Project.

File -> New Project -> Console Application -> C++ .

It will set variables and linker options like basics libraries.

The cout issue is because you should say

using namespace std;

The issue with iostreams is probably that you need to set the path to MINGW in your toolchain. You can access this from the Settings->Compiler and debugger settings->Global compiler setting->toolchain executables menus/tabs. Here select the part where MINGW is installed and that should take care of it.

My code does have using, but for some reason it got deleted when copying and pasting, I'll edit it. Thanks for the pointers!
