GCC is too hard to use

http://boards.4chan.org/g/res/11428027

reading the K&R
wrote a program in geany
installed mingw
what do I type to compile and execute on windows?
"gcc -o hello.c" made a hello.o file but windows won't use it
probably need a batch file or exe or something. How do I tell GCC to make one of these?

>>1 is DQN. If we were interested in /g/ we would be following it ourselves.
