    [warning] invalid argument

    I have a 200+ line program, that I am working on at the moment. It is attached, and, well formatted properly on my computer.

    Most important, is this code has to be ANSI compliant, so I run with the following compile options.

    gcc -ansi -Wall -pedantic -o

    Also I am using Dev C++ with mingc compiler.

    I keep getting "Invalid argument" "Id returned 1 exit status".

    What is the best way to debug this?

    (I realise I am new, and I did search for something similar to no avail)

    Thanks for your help guys.
    -Pat

    it's not your code, its you compiler invocation. use gcc --help...it's most likely --strict-ansi or something like that
    i seem to have GCC 3.3.4
    But how do i start it?
    I dont have a menu for it or anything.

    It should be

    gcc -ansi -Wall -o xyz xyz.c
    where "xyz" is the filename of the executable file and xyz.c is my source file.
