GCC does not compile program - gcc

Question

I want to compile a very simple C++ program. On the first machine the compilation process works fine and also the program runs fine. However, on the second linux machine I have some libraries not found problems. The compilation process looks like this:
gcc -o WebPageCrawler -lawesomium-1-7 -Wall WebPageCrawler.cc
/tmp/ccoLVzvo.o: In function `main':
WebPageCrawler.cc:(.text+0x28): undefined reference to `std::cout'
WebPageCrawler.cc:(.text+0x2d): undefined reference to `std::basic_ostream<char, std::char_traits<char> >& std::operator<< <std::char_traits<char> >(std::basic_ostream<char, std::char_traits<char> >&, char const*)'
...even more errors...
As you can see the compiler even cannot find stdlibs and the other referenced library awesomium (a headless browser) is also not available. However, the corresponding libs can all be found in /usr/lib. So, there must be something else wrong but I don't know what it might be.
My linux version is
uname -a
Linux Ubuntu-1204-precise-64-minimal 3.2.0-39-generic
I'd appriciate any help. Thx.
UPDATE:
When using g++ I get:
g++ -o WebPageCrawler -lawesomium-1-7 -Wall WebPageCrawler.cc
Unable to exec g++.real: No such file or directory
However, on the other machine I used gcc instead of g++ and it works fine there.
UPDATE2:
Okay, now I'm able to get a least the problem of the stdlibs resolved. I did this by further installing:
apt-get install build-essential g++
However, now the awesomium libs are still not found:
/opt/AwesomiumCrawler # g++ -v -o WebPageCrawler -lawesomium-1-7 -Wall WebPageCrawler.cc
Using built-in specs.

Answer 1

The command to compile C++ code is g++, not gcc.
They're both part of the same collection, but the g++ command adds some extra options; in particular, it implicitly links the C++ standard library.
When compiling with -c, to generate just an object file and not invoke the linker, it may not matter -- but you're generating an executable, which means the linker needs to know about the dependency on the C++ standard library.
UPDATE: And now that you've updated the question: You may need to install g++ (on your system, apt-get install build-essential g++).
And now you have a different problem: g++ can't find the "awesomium" libraries. The libraries are in /usr/lib, so you shouldn't need to specify a -L option. The problem is that the -l option needs to follow the file that depends on it.
The linker processes its command-line arguments in order, keeping track of which symbols still need to be resolved and resolving any unresolved symbols in objects or libraries that it processes later.
So rather than:
g++ -o WebPageCrawler -lawesomium-1-7 -Wall WebPageCrawler.cc
try:
g++ -Wall WebPageCrawler.cc -lawesomium-1-7 -o WebPageCrawler
That specific order isn't mandatory, but it should work.
