C++ build failing on MacOS

I'm trying to run my C++ program on my Macbook and I'm trying to run my program in VSCode by running the build task C/C++:clang++ build active file. However, every time I do this I get this error ld: can't open output file for writing: /Users/admin/first/first, errno=21 for architecture x86_64 clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation) The terminal process terminated with exit code: 1

Did you brew install any c++ tools? Sometimes that is the source of these issues. The program is trying to use native OS versions of things when it should use Homebrew's or vice versa.

This appears to be a simple permission problem here:

ld: can't open output file for writing

The linker cannot write to the file specified.

Edit: As correctly pointed to by molbdnilo, the error 21 is EISDIR, which means the file you are trying to write to already exists as a directory. So ... just this folder? :)
