The simplest way is to use 'cc'.  Assuming somefile.c looks something
like this,

main() {
  printf ("Hello Merle\n");
}

You can feed it to cc like this:

$ cc somefile.c

That will either complain about syntax errors or generate an executable
file called 'a.out'.  You can execute your program like this:

$ ./a.out

It will then greet you as if your name were Merle.

gcc -o somefile somefile.c

Then execute the file by typing "./somefile"

 I have a file that is just source code "somefile.c" how would I compile
 this?
