Using a command line compiler really couldn't be easier. Assuming your path is
set up correctly, just do this:

cc myfile.c          (if your compiler is gcc, type gcc instead of cc)

Then run a.out, which is your program.

It gets a little harder for projects with multiple files, but not much.

See? Command line programs are easier to use than GUI programs with stupid
icons.
