gcc errors “No such file or directory”

Trying to compile a source code written in C. Location of the code is: C:\Users\Chris\Documents\prog\c\learn\GOODBYE.C

In CMD I typed the code: gcc goodbye.c -o goodbye

Got this error:

gcc: error: goodbye.c: No such file or directory
gcc: fatal error: no input files
compilation terminated.

I wanted the output to be named goodbye.

How do I fix this?

Enter the name of the directory in which the program is located. Like if the program is in "D" drive, then open the VS Code terminal and enter "D:" (without quotation) and hit enter, and then rerun the code like this.

Make sure that you are running gcc goodbye.c -o goodbye while you are in the C:\Users\Chris\Documents\prog\c\learn\ directory.

If the c file is named GOODBYE.c then you should run gcc GOODBYE.c -o goodbye

what if you run gcc "C:\Users\Chris\Documents\prog\c\learn\GOODBYE.C" -o goodbye

I guess it could be the case sensitivity. Either rename the file or run gcc GOODBYE.C -o goodbye
