I cannot compile gcc -0 no recognized

Strange problem. But I think I found a solution: Did you by any chance use a zero instead of a O?

Not surprised here

-0 is not a valid opton

---------------------------------
gcc file.c
--------------------------------

Should work the output file will be "a.out"

and

---------------------------------
gcc -o file file.c
--------------------------------

the option is a lower case O not a zero

Should work the output file will be "file"

for more help try

---------------------------------
gcc --help
-------------------------------

or

---------------------------------
man gcc
--------------------------------

Thanks Peter, u r absolutely right!
