    printf("hello\n");

    or

    printf("hello");fflush(stdout);
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    So what does it say?
    a.out not found?

    Maybe try running it with
    ./a.out

    "It doesn't work" is not a meaningful report.

    You type these commands in at a console prompt.

    windows.h is a Windows operating system header. Unless someone happened to write a windows.h for Linux, that is not the way to do it.

    *sigh* They're on their way there unfortunately, porting the registry & Win32 API to Linux...

    Anyway you need a 'GUI' library if you plan on greating a user interface, I would suggest GTK+

    When you compile with gcc it's better to name your output program something:

    something like 'gcc hello.c -o hello'

    Or simply
    $ make hello

    As for the WinAPI: WINE.
    All the buzzt!
