C compile error: Id returned 1 exit status

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

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.

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.

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.

Using code::blocks , I have solved this error by doing :

workspace properties > build target > build target files

and checking every project file.

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

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...

Is a simple MAYUS word. verify the log.

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

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.

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.

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