C on Cygwin using Gcc stat function {Resolved}

[señorbadger]

hello, excuse this work since im not that familiar with C but my university assignment says i must use it for this application.

I have to make a application to copy files with confirm overwrites i seem to have hit an issue

Im compiling this code using the Cygwin VM running on Windows XP compiling with GCC. can anyone see what is wrong with this code ?

#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>

struct stat src_info;
struct stat dest_info;

int main(int argc, char **argv[])
{
  //make sure we have a valid number of arguments
  if (argc == 3)
  {
     printf("Source: %s\nDestination: %s\n", argv[1], argv[2]);
     if (_stat(argv[1], &src_info)  == -1) { printf("Error with source could not get i-node\n"); exit(0); }
     if (_stat(*argv[2], &dest_info) == -1) { printf("Error with destination could not get i-node\n"); exit(0); }
  }
}

i compile in Cygwin using...

$ gcc -o bin/safecp safecp.c
safecp.c: In function `main':
safecp.c:15: warning: passing arg 1 of `_stat' from incompatible pointer type

thank you for your help sam
