gcc compiler

gcc transform C programs into executables (for a target architecture, eg. AMD, ARM, 32/64bits, ...). The parameters for the tool are described with gcc --help and some interesting ones are:

• -o to specify executable's name
• -ON to optimize programs (and use the benefit of a multi-cores architecture for instance)
• -I to include a specific library (eg. Gtk)

At this point, the remaining step is to learn the C syntax (and semantic).
