[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hi,

When I compile a file using compile option which is available in emacs (I
mean tools->compile) error is popped saying,

-*- mode: compilation; default-directory: "~/emacs-23.1/bin/" -*-
Compilation started at Tue Mar 20 12:38:44

make -k
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.

Compilation exited abnormally with code 2 at Tue Mar 20 12:38:44

Installing info:

C:\emacs\emacs-23.1\bin

I have kept hello.cpp in C:\emacs\emacs-23.1\bin. Also tried keeping
hello.cpp in diff location.

hello.cpp

// Begining to C++

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;
int main()
{
cout<<"Hello world"<<endl;

return 0;
}

What could could be the mistake that I am facing?

Hello, I don't think this is an Emacs bug. The same question was asked a
few days ago on the help-gnu-emacs list, which is the right place. Eg

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-gnu-emacs/2012-03/msg00135.html

Please ask on help-gnu-emacs if you need more help.

You need to install a compiler on your machine, and figure out how to
call it from a command prompt from outside Emacs. Then just enter the
same thing at the M-x compile prompt as you did at the command prompt.
