Kdevelop overly sensitive?

[tankinan]

Is it just me or is Kdevelop 2.0 insanely senitive? I copied a simple C++ program right out of the book, word-for-word, looked it over, etc, and I still get two arcane errors for problems that don't seem to exist. It's really annoying because I'm almost certain that nothing is wrong and yet it won't let me compile the darn file.

So what are the errors and what is the code? Perhaps there is a subtle problem that needs another pair of eyes.

Here it is:

#include <iostream.h> // for cout

class Cat // class declaration
{
public:
int itsAge;
int itsWeight;
}


void main ()
{
Cat Frisky;
Firsky.itsAge = 5;
cout <<"Frisky is a cat who is ";
cout <<Frisky.itsAge <<"Years old. \n";
}

I think Class Cat should end with }; and not with }

That, and Firsky.itsAge = 5;should be Frisky.itsAge = 5;

This is a little off the topic, but RedHat 7.3 had installed KDevelop 2.0 during the intall.. and I dont use it but; It wont let me go to File->New and open a new blank C/C++ file! Wacky. I can only open files that already exist. I guess I am better off sticking with vi and gcc..

I've only done a little programing with C++ and KDevelop and if I remember you need to open up a new project before starting a new C/C++ file. I don't really know why though, my guess is KDevelop needs the new project so that it can get to all the linkible stuff.

The thing that is the most annoying is that i can't just open one cpp file from disk and compile or execute it. It really makes the whole program useless.

Wow, for once I found what I needed.
Borland 5.1.
Sure, it's windows, but it's still nice.
