How to compile C programs with GCC compiler?

1. #include <stdio.h>
2. #include <conio.h>
3.
4. int main()
5. {
6. int c;
7.
8. for (c = 1; c <= 10; c++)
9. printf("%d\n", c);
10.
11. getch();
12. return 0;
13. }

Above program includes a header file <conio.h> and uses function getch,
but this file is Borland specific, so it works in Turbo C compiler but not in GCC.
The program for GCC should be like:

1. #include <stdio.h>
2.
3. int main()
4. {
5. int c;
6.
7. /* for loop */
8.
9. for (c = 1; c <= 10; c++)
10. printf("%d\n", c);
11.
