how to specify the C standard type if my compiler is Cygwin?

Question

I am using Cygwin for my compiler while coding in Codeblocks IDE. Here is what I did in Cygwin 64:


$ gcc -std=c99
gcc: fatal error: no input files
compilation terminated.

However, it's not working. What is the proper way to do this?

To compile a c program in its simplest form to a certain standard, you can use the following command:

gcc -std=c99 -W -Wall main.c -o main

thanks! but since I'm using the Codeblocks IDE with the compiler set as Cygwin, how should I specify the standard such that I can just click "run&build" in Codeblocks IDE? – Randy Chen Jan 05 '22 at 22:17
