Just one question:
Are you actually just opening the file from the hard disk
with your browser? If you are you should first look
into getting a web server.

and one more thing, when compiling with gcc the 
file will only become an executable if you supply
it with a .exe extension, on the other hand if
you copy the myscript.exe and rename it to myscript.cgi
then all you need is a web server that can understand that
the cgi is an executable. (i.e.: Apache)

HTH.
