Error message leaves me hanging

[Gray38Wolf]

I am taking a long shot here, but I wonder if the error msg I am getting when trying to compile my program is somehow specific to a particular problem or style of code.

I am doing my programming in DevC++ IDE. When I compile I get one error message and no warnings. The error I am getting is :
[ERROR]
cannot open output file -IC:\Compilers\Dev-Cpp\MinGW64\include.exe: Invalid argument
[\ERROR]
and then:
collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status

Is this message specific to something or is it some generic statement that covers a multitude of crimes?

Thanks in advance.

It usually means you have the executable open and the linker cannot open it for writing.
