Unresolved cout?? Huh?

My iostream classes just stopped working. I can''t think of any reason why it would stop except I did put a new library in my include paths. They were working before, in the same projects and now I cannot get them working even in new projects. This is a major annoyance as I run many algorithm tests in console programs and such. Linker error message I get for cout: Source1.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "struct _STL::__null_stream _STL::cout" (?cout@_STL@@3U__null_stream@1@A) I''m using visual studio .net.

std::cout?
Post your code and maybe we can help you. Also, try taking out the library path and see if it works then.

Hehe, I used that, don't worry ^^

I tried taking out the libraries I just installed, and that had no effect.

This is an example of what won't compile:

//  created in VS.net as an empty win32 console project.  I then create a main.cpp and add it to the project.#include <iostream>using namespace std;void main(){  cout << "Hello world";}


Yep, that won't compile. Pretty crazy.

[edit: I should say that won't link, it will compile, see origional message]

That''s an odd error. Does printf work?

Yes, printf works. It is a pain to convert all my projects into that though.

I got it working partly! It was indeed the extra library I had included.

I didn''t detect it at first because it seems I have to close and open the project AND clean it in order for the changes in my include directories to take place?? Which is strange because I''v never had that problem before. (Normally it just works, if it doesn''t I can clean it and it works, but in this case I had to close and re-open the workspace, or solution as they are called in .net).

Sorry about that all ^^

Another problem was that my self libraries were not working, but now they are after I restarted VS.net.

Very strange!
