why am i getting this error in compiling programme? - c

Question

i am trying to compile c file in linux OS but i'm getting so many errors.
I searched it on internet and found solution that is to install mingw-w64. I installed but getting the same error.
here is my first.c file :
#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
printf("Hello world");
return 0;
}
here what i got after compiling :

The Mingw-w64 compiler is for windows. If you're using linux, then you just need to install gcc which should be already preinstalled on your system. Just remove the mingw package and it should work then.
