how to compile c program in suse 13.1
Install the gcc package. Perhaps the make package as well.
Open a terminal. From the command prompt, say:
gcc -Wall my.C
The compiler has many other options.
This is the easiest way to compile a simple program. More tools like IDEs are available.
As an addition: it might even be usefull to install the Pattern Basic Development. Then you have not only the C-compiler and make, but many other things you might need in developing C programs.
If you are compiling an application from source you will meed make and gcc but there also should be a readme file in the source package that should give complete instructionfor that application.
If you are planning on writing your own program then get a good c and or c++ book. There is a lot to know in order to write a c program.

That’s not something that’s going to be easily answered in a forum post,
as there are entire books and courses about writing and compiling
software.
What is your goal? Are you trying to learn how to code, are you looking
to install a package that you think only is available as source (chances
are it’s not, but unless you tell us what it is, we can’t point you in
the right direction for a precompiled package - though http://
software.opensuse.org is a good place to start)?
When asking questions on a forum, it helps to be as specific as you can
be. You might read the excellent essay by Eric Raymond on asking smart
questions. It is available at:
