}

}

the error gcc: fatal error: input file ‘/home/mouad/Desktop/Learning/convertisseur’ is the same as output file

you're trying to compile your C code into the same file

I assume you're using some extension to run code based on the use of absolute paths

if that's the case, try putting an extension on your file

[finite aspen]

i don't think so or at least idk

absolute paths are because im running it on linux terminal

[abstract galleon]

gcc convertisseur -o .../convertisseur

your file is called convertisseur, then you try to output binary to the same file

[finite aspen]

still doesn't work ><

[abstract galleon]

the file is still called convertisseur

[finite aspen]

should i just rename it ?

[abstract galleon]

this was just to point out what was going on

not the command you should use

[abstract galleon]

yeah

either rename the file or the output

[finite aspen]

well renaming it didn't work

still same error

how do I rename the output
