In C, you have to first define your local variables and only  *after* you
can write your statements.
By the way, the DJGPP port of gcc use buffered IO streams. So, I recommend
you to force your printf output with fflush. See the FAQ for further
details.

 Try the following code:

int main(void)
{
int y;
int c;

printf("y value?");
fflush(stdout);
scanf(" %d", &y);
printf("color value?");
fflush(stdout);
scanf(" %d", &c);

exit(0);
}
