Try this

gcc mycode.c main.c -o myprogram

Then run ./myprogram

If you double click it you probably won't see anything, you should instead try running it from the command line, where you compiled it from in the first place.

Your a.out might not be executable yet.
do:
$> chmod 755 a.out
or
$> chmod a+x a.out
then try running it:
$> ./a.out
