    Hi -

    I think it is telling me don't use both -x and -c together in one step is that correct?
    Is there a way i can fix in the gui for gix ide?
    I just understand things like compile to produce o and then link etc.
    I don't know this very well admittedly.

    thanks

      i got this off chatgpt .

      I guess i was way off.

      I will work on what it tells me.

      thanks

      Possible Error Scenario:

      If you include linking flags (like -lgixsql, -lgnucobol) while using -c, it may confuse the build system and cause errors like "extra -o error," because the compiler will expect to link them at the end, but you’ve told it not to do so with -c.

      Example of what might be wrong:

      bash

      Copy code

      gcc -g -O0 -c -std=c99 mysource.c -o mysource.o -lgixsql -lgnucobol

      • -c: Compile only to mysource.o (no linking).
      • -lgixsql and -lgnucobol: These are linking flags, but you’re not actually linking anything since you used -c.

      This would likely trigger errors because the linking flags (-lgixsql, etc.) don’t make sense when you’re only compiling (not linking). The linker will not be involved at all during the -c step.

      Correcting the Command:

      You should separate the compilation and linking steps. For example:

      1. Compilation (with -c to generate object files):

      bash

      Copy code

      gcc -g -O0 -c -std=c99 mysource.c -o mysource.o

      1. Linking (creating the executable):

      bash

      Copy code

      gcc -o myprogram mysource.o -lgixsql -lgnucobol -lm -lgcc -lstdc++ -lspdlog

      This way, you’re:

      • Compiling the source file into an object file (-c).
      • Linking the object file into a final executable, including any required libraries (using -o and -l flags for linking).

      Conclusion:

      • If you're only compiling (with -c), don’t include linking flags (-l<lib> or -o <output_file>) in the same command.</output_file></lib>
      • Use -o to specify the object file name when compiling (e.g., -o mysource.o).
      • After compilation, use a separate command for linking, where you can specify the executable output file and link libraries.

      In summary:

      • For compilation (with -c):

      bash

      Copy code

      gcc -g -O0 -c -std=c99 mysource.c -o mysource.o

      • For linking (after compilation):

      bash

      Copy code

      gcc -o myprogram mysource.o -lgixsql -lgnucobol -lm -lgcc -lstdc++ -lspdlog

      Let me know if this clears things up or if you encounter further issues!
