You can do it on the command line -- just try it.  

make(1) (and its typical input, a set of makefiles) is just a clever 
wrapper for shell commands.  It's not "required" to do anything at all, 
though life soon becomes miserable without it or something similar.

gcc == command line tool for preprocessing/compiling/linking C 
programs.  

GCC == GNU Compiler Collection, a suite of tools for compiling tons of 
different languages.  See http://gcc.gnu.org.
