fuck collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Hi guys, today I wanted to start learning about programming, so I wanted to do that Hello World crap thinking it would be really easy, so I wrote the program:
[CODE]#include<stdio.h>

#include<stdlib.h>

int main()

{

printf("\nHello World!");

return(0);

}[/CODE]

And for compiling it I wrote the command:
[CODE]gcc -Wall -W -Werror helloworld.c -o helloworld[/CODE]

But it didn't work and I got:
[CODE]collect2: ld returned 1 exit status[/CODE]

I googled for a solution but I didn't found anything, help me please.

When you tell gcc to build your program (which is basically what you did with your command to gcc), it first compiles the code files (*.c files and *.cpp files) you give it into object files (*.o or *.obj files). It then tries to link all of the generated object files into a running program. In order to do this last step, gcc needs some help, so it invokes ld to perform the linking step. In your case, OP, ld ran into an error and tried to tell you an error message.

Also your C code has some oddities to it that while they may not be causing any immediate problems, they might cause confusion if you show this code to anyone else:

Your printf() string starts with \n . \n is the character that when printed will cause a newline to be generated. Usually you want this at the end of your string so that your program prints a line and then moves the cursor down to the next line.
Your return value is wrapped in parenthesis. Try doing "return 0;" instead. The parenthesis you have surrounded the return value with should have no effect (other than making the code harder to read).

You have a lot going on. Look at my pic. Look at my example. Look at the directory of my terminal, and then look at the commands I used. This is as simple as it gets.
