gcc-4.2 failed with exit code 1 iphone

Question

I've seen this error with different variations on discussion forums but being a non programmer I'm not sure how to progress this.

Basically I have code which I found to help me with changing the background colors of cells on a grouped uitableview. The code introduced a line as such:

CGContextAddArcToPoint(c, minx, miny, midx, miny, ROUND_SIZE);

This gave an error indicated that it wasn't declared, so I added to my .h file the following under import uikit:

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#define ROUND_SIZE 10

Now it shows that I have an error:

Command/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneSimulator.platform/Developer/usr/bin/gcc-4.2 failed with exit code 1 iphone

Some discussions talk about libraries but because I don't have a programming background I don't understand what to do. I also see that some people show a log output but I'm not sure where that comes from as I don't get any debug windows because I'm guessing it doesn't get that far. I simply click 'Build and Go' and I get this error in the Message window.

Any thoughts?

Answer 1

For me, I found the solution above helpful.... "Open These Latest Results as Transcript Text File" which explained it couldn't find libGDataTouchStaticLib.a. I then had to build the static library for Gdata.xcodeproj (changing the active target > GdataTouchStaticLib) then had to manually add this file by dragging it to the targets > MYAPPNAME > Link Binary With Libraries. Build & Run.. All Good.
