recipe for target 'Project1.exe' failed

The important bit of the output is:
C:\Users\varun\Desktop\cprog\Untitled2.o Untitled2.c:(.text+0x0): multiple definition of `main'
It tells you, that you have two definitions of function main
. You need exactly one such definition in an executable. The next line of the error tells you, where that definition is:
C:\Users\varun\Desktop\cprog\main.o main.c:(.text+0x0): first defined here
So you have function main
defined in Untitled2.c
and you have another function main
defined in main.c
. Delete one of them. From the names perhaps the main.c
is unnecessary altogether, but I can't tell without seeing the files.
