GCC
Short for GNU Compiler Collection, GCC is a collection of programming compilers including C, C++, Objective-C, Fortran, Java, and Ada. Once installed a basic C file like that shown in our C definition page can be compiled by running the below command.
gcc -o test test.c
In the above example the gcc compiler uses test as the output file and test.c as the C file and would create the file test.exe.
