You can also type "man gcc" in the shell but it's a little complicated

the most useful options are:
-I<PATH/OF/INCLUDE>
-L<PATH/OF/LIBRARY> to include more libraries
-Wall to show all warnings
for example you have a app using 3 files:
-main.c the file containing the main() function
-bailando.c and bailando.h the files containing other functions used by
main()
to compile this prog, you have to type:
gcc -c main.c -Wall
-> main.o is generated

gcc -c bailando.c -Wall
-> bailando.o is generated

gcc -o main main.o bailando.o
->the binary program is generated

then launch your app:
./main
