Here's an answer to a similar problem from FaceBook:

I am getting a problem in pset3. whenever i try to compile "find.c"

The error goes like this:

jharvard@appliance (~/Dropbox/pset3): ls
breakout find jharvard@appliance (~/Dropbox/pset3): cd find
jharvard@appliance (~/Dropbox/pset3/find): make find 
clang -ggdb3 -O0 -std=c99 -Wall -Werror find.c helpers.c helpers.h -lcs50 -lm -o find
clang: error: cannot specify -o when generating multiple output files

Brilliant Person 1:

You modified the Makefile didn't you? Not sure why you did, but the clang command shouldn't include the .h file

OP:

I doubt that. Anyway, I'll check. Thanks

Brilliant Person 2:

OP, don't doubt it. Brilliant Person 1 is right. Makefile somehow got modified and it's the addition of the .h file that's messing things up.

OP

Ya I found it...thanks

If that doesn't help, please share the line showing the clang options.
