Getting error upon compiling in gcc

[prtkdas96]

cannot execute binary file: Exec format error

Come on, this is a basic dev problem (with no detail) that you should not be pestering the maintainer with. Please make SOME effort.

Hi @prtkdas96 and thanks for checking out this project :)

If you would like help compiling the project, I'll need a bit more information to be able to.
I need to know how you compiled the code and how you tried to run it.
In other words: What have you tried and why did it not work?

I do agree with @DamonHD that perhaps you could try seeking help on stackoverflow.com or something similar.
Issues are usually reserved for reporting defects and I am sure that your problem comes from incorrect use somehow :)

Thanks for the help. I am sorry for disturbing you all. I am a newbie and was confused where to address my problem. @kokke I am using the latest version of Ubuntu and using gcc compiler. Although the program is compiling, running the same generates the error mentioned above.

No problem @prtkdas96 we were all newbies once :)

How are you compiling the program?
Which commands are you running?

[prtkdas96]

I am compiling the program using gcc -c aes.c -DCBC=1 -DECB=0 -o aes2. After that I am running ./aes2 which initially gave me error. But after some digging, I found out that using chmod results in successful compilation. But even after doing so, I am getting the cannot execute binary file error. Should I try recompiling it in a virtual box with ubuntu server for arm installed?

[kokke]

If you are just running gcc -c aes.c -DCBC=1 -DECB=0 -o aes2 you cannot execute the output. That is just object-code, not a binary.
You need to also add a main()-function and compile that and link with the aes2-object code.

I'm closing this issue since it seems it wasn't a problem with the code.

Did you get the code to compile and run after all ?
