The -c flag to g++ tells it to stop before the linking is done, so all
you get is a compiled .o file.  That is desirable when you have multiple
.o's that make up your final executable.  From your terminal you could
link it with the command:

g++ main.o -o main

And you will end up with an executable called 'main'.

I located a small intro to gcc that explains this better I think.

Hope this helps.
