Problem while compiling programs, using g++, which use the string data type

["Zafrulla, Zahoor (Cognizant)" <ZZahoor at chn dot cognizant dot com>]

Hi,

I have been trying to compile a set of files on the latest Cygwin DLL release under Win 2000. The same set of files compiles perfectly fine under red hat linux . In order to isolate the error i wrote a test program and i found tht ther is some problem with programs using the c++ string  data type. This is the program i tried and the result after compilation.

******************************************
#include<string>
#include<iostream.h>

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

*******************************************

$ g++ -w -o test teststr.c
teststr.c: In function `int main()':
teststr.c:6: `string' undeclared (first use this function)
teststr.c:6: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each
   function it appears in.)
teststr.c:6: parse error before `=' token
teststr.c:7: `a' undeclared (first use this function)

********************************************

The test program compiles fine if i use g++-2 instead of g++. Is ther any particular option that i need to use ??

Can anybody tell me what the problem is.

Thanks,

Zahoor Zafrulla
