Offering help with answers you're unsure of (and which happen to be wrong)
is much worse than not helping at all.

What you meant was 

    gcc myfile.c -o myfile.exe

for C and 

    gxx myfile.cpp -o myfile.exe

for C++.

In emacs you'll be able to hit M-x compiler RET to start make in the
current directory, but that of course presumes you understand makefiles
and in the makefiles you'll have to do the above call to gcc/gxx anyway.
