compile hello world probs

[perlsyntax]

here my hello world work find on my gvim editor but not in netbeans

#include <stdio.h>

main()
{
for(;
{
printf ("Hello World!\n");
}
}

Here the error message

any ideas?

I think in gvim you compile file, while in NB you compile project with 2
files (main.c and hello.c) into "cppapplication_1" executable file.
Both your files have "main" function which is the root of the problem.

Thanks,
Vladimir.

This may be way off...

but it's not abundantly clear to us noobs that the file (like "hello.cpp") has to live inside a project before netbeans will (even begin to) play nicely with it.

We're still working in single-source projects, on pre-installed IDE's in our classrooms, and frankly are still tickled when "hello.cpp" compiles. So, the concept of multi-source, or any other reasoning behind that mysterious projects tree, is entirely foreign.
