In general, you would create a new empty directory for each
programming project you're working on, and put all the sources and
headers and stuff for that project in that directory.  The compiler
(gcc et al) should be on your PATH, so you can invoke "gcc foo.c -o
foo.exe" in the directory where foo.c exists, and have everything
work.
