C compile error Id returned 1 exit status

Question

For some reason  when I try compiling a program  the compiler says permission denied and Id returned 1 exit status   Could anyone tell me what that means  Thank you   include  lt stdio h gt                                                   Library inclusions     include  genlib h    include  simpio h   int binSearch int val  int numbers    int size1                     prototypes    void sortArray  int numbers    int size1                          int indexMax  int numbers    int low  int high   void swap  int numbers    int loc  int loc1   void getArray  int numbers    int size1   void displayArray  int numbers    int size1    main       int value  size1     printf  Enter the number of elements        size1 GetInteger       int numbers size1     getArray numbers  size1      sortArray numbers  size1      displayArray numbers  size1     printf   nEnter value to find        value GetInteger      binSearch value  numbers  size1     getchar       void sortArray  int numbers    int size1                           Function sortArray      int i   maxInd    for  i  size1-1  i gt  0 i--          maxInd indexMax numbers  0  i        swap  numbers  i  maxInd         void displayArray  int numbers    int size1                        Function displayArray      int i    printf  This is the sorted set of numbers   n     for  i 0  i lt  size1  i                printf    d t   numbers i               void getArray  int numbers    int size1                            Function getArray      int i    for  i 0  i lt size1  i            printf   Enter the values of the  d elements     size1        numbers i  GetInteger          int indexMax  int numbers    int low  int high                     Function indexMax     int i  maxInd   maxInd high  for  i low i lt  high i          if  numbers i  gt numbers maxInd                             maxInd  i                  return  maxInd      void swap  int numbers    int loc  int loc1                        Function swap      int temp    temp numbers loc    numbers loc  numbers loc1    numbers loc1  temp     int binSearch int val  int numbers    int size1                    Function binSearch      int low  high  mid    low 0   high size1-1   while low lt  high                      mid  low high  2                   if val lt numbers mid                                                       high mid-1                                                                  else if val gt numbers mid                                                       low mid 1                                          else if val  numbers mid                                                       printf  Your number is in location  d n   mid 1  break                                           else                                                     printf  Your value is not in the array                                         The above is the binary search algorithm code I tried to compile

I may guess  the old instance of your program is still running  Windows does not allow to change the files which are currently  in use  and your linker cannot write the new  exe on the top of the running one  Try stopping killing your program

Just try   gcc filename c -lm  while compiling the program    it worked for me

You may compiling your program while another program may be running in background  Firstly  see if another program is running  Close it and then try ro compile

User · Answer

it could be that you just said main     I use int main  when I start my main

I bet for sure  that this is because you didn t close the running instance of the program before trying to re-compile it   Generally  ld exe returns 1 when it can t access required files  This usually includes   Can t find the object file to be linked  or Access denied  Can t find one or more symbols to link Can t open the executable for writing  or AD    The program looks completely fine  so the second point should not hit  In usual cases  it s impossible for ld to fail to open the object file  unless you have a faulty drive and a dirty filesystem   so the first point is also nearly impossible   Now we get to the third point  Note that Windows not allow writing to a file when it s in use  so the running instance of your program prevents ld exe from writing the new linked program to it   So next time be sure to close running programs before compiling

it seems as if it comes when u have an previous compiled version of your program running

My solution is to try to open another file that you can successfully run that you do at another PC  open that file and run it  after that copy that file and make a new file  Try to run it

This answer is written for C   developers  because I was haunted by such problem as one  Here is the solution   Instead of   main          please type  int main          so the main function can be executed   By the way  if you compile a C C   source file with no main function to execute  there will definitely be a bug message saying        Error  Id returned 1 exist status    But sometimes we just don t need main function in the file  in such a case  just ignore the bug message

Is a simple MAYUS word  verify the log

1d returned 1 exit status error  First of all you have to create a project by clicking file  new and then project and give project name select the language c or c   and select empty also   Then your program is under that project    And then give a program name save it     Ensure that  your under some project to compile and run a program

Using code  blocks   I have solved this error by doing    workspace properties   build target   build target files  and checking every project file
