Chances are that you ve not included the header file that declares system     In order to be able to compile C   code that uses functions which you don t  manually  declare yourself  you have to pull in the declarations  These declarations are normally stored in so-called header files that you pull into the current translation unit using the  include preprocessor directive  As the code does not  include the header file in which system   is declared  the compilation fails   To fix this issue  find out which header file provides you with the declaration of system   and include that  As mentioned in several other answers  you most likely want to add  include  lt cstdlib gt

You need to add     include  lt cstdlib gt    in order for the compiler to see the prototype for system

[c++] System not declared in scope?
