[SOLVED] Codelite can't find sstream

Issue

I'm trying to compile my project that has a library utilizing sstream using gcc with CodeLite. But for some reason the compiler can't find sstream fatal error :sstream: No such file or directory

CodeLite is using the same installation of gcc as Devc++ and TurboC++, Which have no problem compiling the same code.

Solution

In general, when asking such questions, its a good idea to also provide the build output from the Output View -> Build tab of CodeLite.

Assuming your code is written correctly, I would guess that your file is named file.c (change file to the real file name here)

By default, CodeLite will invoke gcc for .c and g++ for the following file extensions:

• cpp
• .cxx
• .cc
• .c++

Make sure your file name extension is set to cpp and not c

Alternatively (not recommended), you can change CodeLite settings and tell it to invoke g++ for either c or c++ file.

This can be done from:

Settings -> Build Settings -> Compilers -> YOUR PROJECT COMPILER -> File Types tab You will see there list of file extensions and the compile line using macros. For example for a c file this is the line used by CodeLite:

$(CC) $(SourceSwitch) "$(FileFullPath)" $(CFLAGS) $(ObjectSwitch)$(IntermediateDirectory)/$(ObjectName)$(ObjectSuffix) $(IncludePath)

You can double click the c file entry and change $(CC) into $(CXX) (or copy the line from the cpp entry)

Again, this is not recommended :)
