C++ compilation notes on windows and linux

ccdemo.bat

clenvmin.bat ccdemowin.cpp && ccdemowin.exe

ccdemo.cpp

#include "iostream"

int main(void)
{
	std::cout << "Hello! This is a C++ program.\n";
	return 0;
}

ccdemo.sh

g++ ccdemowin.cpp -o ccdemo && ./ccdemo

clenvmin.bat

@echo off
:: Load compilation environment
:: note: we may need to extract the following call and execute it separately in the cli to avoid too long env variable
call "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat"
:: Invoke compiler with any options passed to this batch file
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\bin\cl.exe" %*

notes

Windows steps:
make a clenvmin.bat next to the c++ file to be compiled, ensure you have the right path to cl.exe set in it
make a ccdemo.bat next to the c++ file
make your c++ file ie: the ccdemo.cpp here (note: in windows the extension must be cpp not c otherwise compilation errors will rise)
open a command line terminal where the files exist and run
$ ccdemo.bat

Linux steps:
run the ccdemo.sh which should be next to ccdemowin.cpp (note: any file type will work)
$ ccdemo.sh
