How to fix GCC 4.3’s removal of old headers
By admin | December 15, 2008
GCC 4.3 has many new feautures. But unfortunately, it may break many of your application as it removes legacy and backwards compactible headers. Compiling in this case may result in errors such as “error: iostream.h: No such file or directory“. This article will describe how to fix it in 3 easy steps:
- Go to http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.3/porting_to.html‘s “Removal of Pre-ISO headers” section.
- For every header on the left, create it with contents of “#include <header_on_the.right>“.
- Compile your app with your regular compile arguments, adding “ -I.” to the end of it. The dot at the end is very important. Example: “g++ foo.cpp -o foo -I.“

First off I would like to say terrific blog! I had a quick question which I’d like to ask if you do not mind.
I was curious to find out how you center yourself and clear your
mind before writing. I have had a hard time clearing my mind in getting my thoughts
out there. I truly do enjoy writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes tend
to be lost just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or tips?
Appreciate it!
