Is it possible to compile C files from the command prompt. The only software I have installed related to C is codeblocks and I figure they have a compiler I could use. Do I need to set up any environmental variables?

Thank you.

Yes, and yes. The compiler coming with Code::Blocks is MinGW, refer to their site for further information.
