Compiling the code - learnclang/1-helloworld GitHub Wiki

Open a command line/terminal window and navigate to the folder in which you saved the file hello_world.c.

Type the following:

gcc hello_world.c -o hello_world.exe

If everything goes according to plan, a new file called hello_world.exe will be created in the same folder. This new file is the executable file that the end user will run.

Note that the .exe extension is only required if you are working on Windows.
