save it as helloworld.c and translate it to an executable with a command 
like this:

   gcc -shared -o helloworld.pd_linux helloworld.c

if you're on a mac, do it like this instead:

   gcc -bundle -undefined suppress -o helloworld.pd_darwin helloworld.c

if your text editor doesn't want to deal with .c files, you could save as 
helloworld.txt and replace helloworld.c by -xc helloworld.txt in the 
commands above. (You need to have "gcc" of course).

if you're on windows instead, i can't help you.
