title: Cannot compile c file from command line
body: <p>I've just started using C and downloaded CodeBlocks gcc compiler. Now everything has been working fine, i.e. I could create simple source code and compile the <code>.c</code> file from either the command line or through CodeBlocks until just recently. </p>
  
  <p>I had a simple program called <code>fairwell.c</code>, compiled to <code>fairwell.exe</code> via the command line by typing</p>
  
  <pre><code>gcc fairwell.c -o fairwell.exe
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>which displayed the following text:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Goodbye cruel world
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I then deleted these <code>fairwell.c</code> and <code>.exe</code> files. Now everytime I try to compile a new <code>.c</code> file at the command line it keeps displaying this text <code>Goodbye cruel world</code> and does not compile the file. I can, however, still compile files directly through CodeBlocks.</p>
  
  <p>Where is the problem?</p>
