If you're going to use the terminal to compile, then you should learn to use make, at least in a simple way. It makes life much easier. Here's a simple example, you really don't need to get any more complicated than this for a simple program, just assume everything depends on any interface in any header. And assuming I wrote it correctly off the top of my head. note: use tabs for indents after rules.

#
# a very simple makefile
# assumes you have main.c, main.h
# and other files all of which are similar, i.e. file.c and file.h
# all in the same directory
# and any *.c needs to recompile when any *.h changes
#

CC=gcc -O1 -std=c89 -Wall -pedantic
FILES = main.o file1.o file2.o\
  file3.o etc.o

myprog: $(FILES)
	$(CC) -o myprog $(FILES)
	strip myprog

%.o: %.c *.h
	$(CC) -o $*.o -c $*.c
