The information provided by others will be of more use for this
particular issue, but in general, if you are compiling a module, and
not a complete program, the -c flag will generally allow it to compile
in gcc.  This tells it to compile, but not link.

>From there you would use ar or similar to link them together as a
library, or you would use gcc to link them together as a program
(which would have to have exactly one main() in one of the modules).

I am sure there are more complicated ways of doing things, but I am
not an expert. :)
