This is really something you should Google..

Anyway, open up your favorite text editor, write the code, save the file (let's assume you name it myprogram.c), then run..

Code:

gcc -omyprogram myprogram.c

..to compile it, and..

Code:

./myprogram

to run it.

Consult gcc man pages for more compile options. Or some tutorial.

You could also use some IDE.

you write a c programm as you would in windows. except if you want to use system calls. then you need to know the POSIX system calls of course. Win32 API wont do you no good. all you need is a compiler. the command is mostly "cc" (C Compiler) or better "gcc" (Gnu C Compiler). do:

Code:

echo $CC

to see what compiler you have
