I'm working on a C++ program in Xcode, and I keep getting a Mach-O error when I try to build and run the app (plus a "build failed" error message). Below is the code I'm using:
//
// QuadSolver.cpp
// Calculator
//
//
#include <iostream>
#include <cstdio>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <cmath>
using namespace std;
int main(int nNumberofArgs, char* pszArgs[])
{
//enter the three variables
double a;
double b;
double c;
cout << "Enter A";
cin >> a;
cout << "Enter B";
cin >> b;
cout << "Enter C";
cin >> c;
//calculating a discriminant
double d;
d = b * b - 4 * a * c;
double x1, x2;
if (d == 0)
{
x1 = x2 = -b / (2 * a);
cout << "There's only one solution: ";
cout << x1;
system("PAUSE");
return 0;
}
else if (d < 0)
{
cout << "There are no possible solutions, as the discriminant is smaller than zero";
system("PAUSE");
return 0;
}
else if (d > 0)
{
x1 = (-b - sqrt(d)) / (2 * a);
x2 = (-b + sqrt(d)) / (2 * a);
cout << "There are two solutions:";
cout << "x1=";
cout << x1;
cout << "x2=";
cout << x2;
}
}
And the error message is something along the lines of:
ld: duplicate symbol _main in /Users/myusername/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/Calculator-cwpaasypxtqkpvfsbfjekrgrgvbq/Build/Intermediates/Calculator.build/Debug/Calculator.build/Objects-normal/x86_64/QuadSolver.o and /Users/myusername/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/Calculator-cwpaasypxtqkpvfsbfjekrgrgvbq/Build/Intermediates/Calculator.build/Debug/Calculator.build/Objects-normal/x86_64/main.o for architecture x86_64
Your main
function is defined in two places. In your little program up there and in a source file named main
, which probably came as part of the template. I'm not sure which template you used, but look in your project for a file named main
and remove it or comment out its implementation of the main
function.
