first make sure that you have a compiler installed for the language your using. if you are using C and you have gcc installed, you would do this:
gcc programname.c
that would output this a file called a.out
then you would simply run a.out. that is your program. if it is just a shell script then you dont compile it. it is an interpreted language and all you need to do is run it with the script with whatever shell language you wrote it in.
To download the binaries for gcc
http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/gcc.html
and for the manuals on c programming
