The -E option to gcc invokes only the preprocessor. If you want to compile you need to do this:

gcc -g -Wall -Wextra -o filename filename.c

The -o option specifies the name of the executable to create, the -W options enable the common compiler warnings, and -g includes debugging symbols so you can use tools such as gdb to step through the code line by line.
