netbeans c program build fail with tdm-gcc msys

Question

i have recently started to use netbeans to program in c. i usually use codeblocks. i have installed tdm-gcc and msys for this purpose.

the programs are getting compiled successfully. but on execution, it shows build failed(exit value 2).

    "/C/msys/1.0/bin/make.exe" -f nbproject/Makefile-Debug.mk QMAKE= SUBPROJECTS= .build-conf
make.exe[1]: Entering directory `/f/NetBeansProjects/C_Programs'

BUILD FAILED (exit value 2, total time: 657ms)

can somebody help me with what im doing wrong?

Answer 1

You have multiple main() functions in your project:

[…]/structure_union.c:32: multiple definition of `main'

It seems there's one in structure_union and another one in main.c (line 15).

C allows only one definition of main(); remove one of these and it should work.
