Hello @Kaushal-Dokania,

can gcc be found in path? If not you have to set the directory.
Is the output a console application? If so, you need to call cmd shell together with compiled exe.

For such thing I would recommend to install nppExec plugin which could do this in one run
and if I remember correctly there even was an example how to do it with gcc.

Cheers
Claudia
