Well, look closely at what command line the IDE actually tries to run
to compile. Is there something weird with it? Is there just one -o
option, immediately followed by an object file name? Somehow the IDE
manages to invoke the compiler with a mixed-up command line.

Why use IDEs if they cause problems like this? Why not start by
learning how to compile and link a hello-world program from the
command line, then continue on to write a Makefile for more complex
programs.
