Time to learn how to program C. :)  Use Google, buy a book, grab some
example code (e.g., existing games, tutorials, etc.)  This is getting way
off-topic from this list.

Quick summary, though:

  gcc file.c -c -o file.o `sdl-config --cflag`
  gcc file2.c -c -o file2.o `sdl-config --cflags`
  gcc file.o file2.o -o program `sdl-config --cflags --libs`

Better would be to have a Makefile and use 'make' appropriately, of course.
(O'Reilly's "Managing Projects with Make" is a good read, for example.)
