First try

$ gcc --version

It should print out something like

gcc (Debian 4.4.2-8) 4.4.2
Copyright (C) 2009 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
This is free software; see the source for copying conditions.  There is NO

Then use your favorite editor to edit a file named hello.c

$ cat hello.c
#include <stdio.h>

int main ()
{
   printf ("Hello GCC!\n");
   return 0;
}

Compile it to an executable using GCC:

$ gcc -o hello hello.c

Run the executable:

$ ./hello
Hello GCC!

Finally you can further read GCC manual:
