Help beginner programer, can't get my terminal to compile.

Hi could someone please have a look at the following steps to see if there is something I'm missing.

1/ I have d/lded xcode (current) and installed command line tools.

2/ for some reason edit is not opening in my terminal window.

ie I type "gedit hello.c"

output:- bash:gedit: command not found

but I just use pico and it seams to work i.e.

"pico hello.c"

and it opens a pico editing window.

secondly the compiler does not seem to work in terminal.

ie/

i create a new file "mkdir hello.c"

"cd hello.c"

now i am in hello.c

next step

"pico hello.c"

and i type this simple code

#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char * argv[]){

printf("Hello World!\n");
printf("Goodbye World!\n");
return 0;
}


now I save by

^o

and save file "hello.c"

now back to terminal still in file hello.c

"gcc -Wall -Werror -O -o hello hello.c"

output:

i686-apple-darwin11-llvm-gcc-4.2: hello.c: No such file or directory
i686-apple-darwin11-llvm-gcc-4.2: no input files"

???

This is really annoying me I feel I have tried everything

please please help. Thanks

 

hello.c helloworld.c

123.c:
iapple

hellohello.c:
123.c hellohello.c

iapple.c:


pls note I have tried doing this with a few different file names as I have tried to get it working a few times.

Thanks.

 

Ok I figured it out now thanks for the help.

I think thats what I was confused about.. I thought the folders had to be the same name as the c file.
