Sorry Sanju but u have mixed up Unix file format ( aout , coff , elf and as86 ) with that of Windows. Compiling the file as u said (gcc -o file file.c) wont create file.exe but rather create an output file with the name 'file' only. And u can run that like ./file
U may even skip '-o ' option in gcc and that will produce an output file named a.out that can be run as ./a.out (Though the native format of Linux is ELF in this case it produces output file of aout format)
And as for Bell plz. follow jim's advise.

freealut-config

freealut-config(1)					      General Commands Manual						freealut-config(1)

NAME

       freealut-config - script to get information about the installed version of freealut

SYNOPSIS

       freealut-config [ --prefix= DIR] [ --exec-prefix= DIR] [ --version ] [ --libs ] [ --cflags ]

DESCRIPTION

       freealut-config	is  a  tool  that is used to configure and determine the compiler and linker flags that should be used to compile and link
       progams, libraries, and plugins that use freealut.

       The use of freealut-config is deprecated. The more generic tool pkg-config should be used instead.

OPTIONS

       --cflags
	      Print the compiler flags that are necessary to compile a program or library that uses freealut.

       --exec-prefix=DIR
	      If specified, use DIR instead of the installation exec prefix that freealut was  build  with  when  computing  the  output  for  the
	      --cflags and --libs options.  This option must be specified before any of the --cflags and --libs options.

       --libs Print the linker flags that are necessary to link a program or library that uses freealut.

       --prefix=DIR
	      If  specified, use PREFIX instead of the installation prefix that freealut was built with when computing the output for the --cflags
	      and --libs options.  This option is also used for the exec prefix if --exec-prefix was not specified.  This option must be specified
	      before any of the --cflags and --libs options.

       --version
	      Prints the currently installed version of freealut on standard output.

EXAMPLES

       gcc -o main.o $(freealut-config --cflags) -c main.c
	      is how you might use freealut-config to compile a C source file for an executable program.

       gcc -o my_app $(freealut-config --libs) main.o util.o
	      is how you might use freealut-config to link compiled objects into an executable program.
