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

The above is the binary search algorithm code I tried to compile.

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

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

Answer 3

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...

Answer 4

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.

Answer 5

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

workspace properties > build target > build target files

and checking every project file.

Answer 6

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.
