It should compile to an object file (xxx.o) separately but it won't
create a valid executable. It does not supply a main() function. To
get a main(), select the Emit Main option in the fdesign menu and then
save. You will then have three C source files:

xxx_main.c
xxx.c
xxx.h

You should be able to compile and link the xxx_main.c and xxx.c files
in the standard manner. For instance

gcc -c xxx_main.c
gcc -c xxx.c
gcc -o xxx xxx_main.o xxx.o -lforms -lX11 -lm

should work if things are in the Standard Places.
