GCC is the compiler. You first compile the C-source code to an executable. In the same directory as your C-source code, you will find a file called a.exe. This is the executable your compiler has created and which you can run.
Ok, I get you now, How do I compile with GCC though?
Thanks
You already did: GCC is the compiler program. When you want to compile a single C source-code file with GCC, you call GCC and provide it with the name of that file:
c:\some_directory\gcc sourcefile.c
Oh, ok. But I cant find the EXE now..
Thanks
The EXE which GCC creates is called A.EXE. You can find it in the directory from where you have called GCC.
So if you have a C sourcecode file in c:\temp1 and you are in c:\temp2 and compile like c:\temp2\gcc c:\temp1\source.c, then in c:\temp2 you will find your A.EXE.
Ok, I found it, Thanks alot
Thanks
