I can't get this to compile! I have no clue what I did wrong Sad

Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/types.h>

using namespace std;

pid_t pid;
pid = fork(); //Clone to make a child process
if(pid < 0) //If our PID is less than 0, then something has gone wrong while forking
  exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
if(pid > 0) //If out PID is greater than 0, then we're all good
  exit(EXIT_SUCCESS);

/* If we have gotten this far we are in the child process now */
umask(0); //Set the usermask to 0
openlog(argv[0],LOG_NOWAIT|LOG_PID,LOG_USER); //Connect to the syslog server
syslog(LOG_NOTICE, "Successfully started skeletor backend.\n");

pid_t sid;
sid = setsid(); //Let's try and create our own process group
if (sid < 0) {
  syslog(LOG_ERR, "Could not create process group.\n");
  exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
 }

if((chdir("/")) < 0){
  syslog(LOG_ERR, "Could not change working directory to /\n");
  exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
 }

/* Close the standard file descriptors as not to waste memory and for safety */
close(STDIN_FILENO);
close(STDOUT_FILENO);
close(STDERR_FILENO);

/* Here is where the main loop of the daemon is. */
syslog(LOG_NOTICE, "Test 123! I am exiting now!\n");

Also, here is the makefile if it helps.

Code:
CC=gcc
CFLAGS=-I.
DEPS =
OBJ = main.o
EXE = skeletor

%.o: %.c $(DEPS)
   $(CC) -c -o $(EXE) $< $(CFLAGS)

hellomake: $(OBJ)
   gcc -o $@ $^ $(CFLAGS)

Edit: Here is the compilation error
Code:

More errors! WOOOOOOOO
My code

using namespace std;

 ofstream dmesg;
 dmesg.open("/dev/kmesg");
 dmesg << "Skeletor-0.1.0 started.";
 dmesg.close();

pid_t sid;
sid = setsid(); //Let's try and create our own process group
if (sid < 0) {
  syslog(LOG_ERR, "Could not create process group.\n");
  exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
 }

if((chdir("/")) < 0){

  exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
 }

/* Close the standard file descriptors as not to waste memory and for safety */

 syslog(LOG_NOTICE, "Test 123! I am exiting now!\n");
}


The error

Those are all linking errors; the very first Google result (this one) for those errors tells you the solution:
StackOverflow wrote:
gcc main.cpp -lstdc++

or

g++ main.cpp
Did you bother Googling the errors?
Stack overflow is blocked here :/
Thanks though!
Edit: That didn't work...
