make hello gets error

Question

Week 1 and I was following along with Lecture Continued. When I tried to compile I got this error...

1 error generated. make: *** [hello] Error 1

I have never worked with Linux or command lines before and don't know where to start fixing this.

#include <stdio.h>

main()
{
    printf("Hello, world!\n");
}

please help

Answer 1

main has to return an integer to the calling program, the operating system. Very simply, you didn't properly define main. You must define it as returning an integer. Try it this way:

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
    printf("Hello, world!\n");
}
