gcc is a command line compiler. Once you have written your source with some
editor, you can compile it with something like:
gcc -o myprog.exe myprog.c

There are about fifty million other hairy options to gcc, which you can read
about with the Info documentation reader. If you need an editor, allow me to
suggest RHIDE, a programming environment along the lines of Borland's. You
can get it from whence you got DJGPP.
