Linker Option with 1.0 in name Windows

Question

I am trying to create a program using the libusb-1.0 library After I installed the library when I try to compile like so

gcc -g main.c -o test.exe -lusb-1.0 i get the following error gcc.exe: error: .0: No such file or directory

what do I have to type for the linkage option "-lusb-1.0" to be read properly

I am using mingw64 on Windows

Yes there was no space. However, when I compile from cmd instead of the powershell terminal inside VSC, i no longer get this error. there was a typo, the second flag should be -o — Xyrho, Jul 18 '20 at 02:44
Perhaps it's a PowrrShell issue? Can you replicate it using other commands? Might want to [edit] this question, or post a new one, about this? — Some programmer dude, Jul 18 '20 at 03:03

This can be solved by adding single or double quotes around '-lusb-1.0'

for example here is the code i used to compile

gcc *.c -o test.exe '-lusb-1.0'
