I am trying to use the gcc function but it doesn't work. I have CHECKED my program file and it's extension is .c. Everytime I type gcc samp.c -o samp.exe I get:
gcc: samp.c: no such file or directory
gcc: no input files
Do I need to save the samp.c in a specific directory?

Are you sure that samp.c is in the same directory that you are in at the moment? gcc will not search for your file beyond the current working directory.
From the shell prompt, type: pwd
You will get an answer like /cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/Administrator
The "/cygdrive/c/" portion of the pathname represents Cygwin's translation for "c:/".
You may need to cd to the correct location. Fortunately, cd understands Windows-style pathnames, so you can do something like: cd "c:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\C programming"
(Note the double-quotes around the pathname.)
Good luck!
