How to avoid precompiled headers

Question

I am trying to compile a simple VS program in C   as an assignment for class  We only ever include  lt iostream gt  and I keep getting this error      1 Assignment cpp 15   fatal error C1010  unexpected end of file while looking for precompiled header  Did you forget to add   include  StdAfx h   to your source    My program is literally this small      include  lt iostream gt  using namespace std  int main         unsigned int day   30       cout  lt  lt   My Name is John Doe   lt  lt  endl      cout  lt  lt   My Major is CS   lt  lt  endl      cout  lt  lt   I was born on day    lt  lt  day  lt  lt  endl      return 0      I just installed Visual Studio Express 2010  Really I would love to start an empty project instead of installing with all these files predefined  I think it would make it a lot easier but I never get that option when creating a project  Anybody have any suggestions

You can always disable the use of pre-compiled headers in the project settings   Instructions for VS 2010  should be similar for other versions of VS       Select your project  use the  Project -  Properties  menu and go to the  Configuration Properties -  C C   -  Precompiled Headers  section  then change the  Precompiled Header  setting to  Not Using Precompiled Headers  option      If you are only trying to setup a minimal Visual Studio project for simple C   command-line programs  such as those developed in introductory C   programming classes   you can create an empty C   project

Right click project solution Properties - gt  Configuration Properties - gt  C C   - gt  Precompiled Headers  Click on  quot Precompiled Headers quot  change to  quot Not Using Precompiled Headers quot    Erase the  quot pch h quot   quot stdafx h quot  field in  quot Precompiled Header File quot  for the EOF error at the end of the build for the project   Then you can feel free to delete the pch  stdafx  files in your project

You can create an empty project by selecting the  Empty Project  from the  General  group of Visual C   projects  maybe that project template isn t included in Express     To fix the problem in the project you already have  open the project properties and navigate to   Configuration Properties   C C     Precompiled Headers   And choose  Not using Precompiled Headers  for the  Precompiled Header  option

The  cpp file is configured to use precompiled header  therefore it must be included first  before iostream   For Visual Studio  it s name is usually  stdafx h    If there are no stdafx  files in your project  you need to go to this file s options and set it as    Not using precompiled headers
