1) Make sure you know how your compiler works and verify that it is
   capable of linking against the MathLink libraries supplied by
   the MathLink Developer's Kit on the professional CD-ROM.

2) Go download a copy of "A MathLink Tutorial" by Todd Gayley at URL:

Version 2.2 notebook (can be converted into 3.0)

http://www.mathsource.com/MathSource/Enhancements/MathLink/0206-693/ML_Tut.ma

PostScript document 

http://www.mathsource.com/MathSource/Enhancements/MathLink/0206-693/ML_Tut.ps

   It was written for MathLink under Mathematica 2.2, but the examples
   given therein should give you a more indepth starting point for 
   creating MathLink executables.

3) Read over the system specific information in the MathLink 
   Developer's Kit online documentation.

4) Play with the addtwo example in the Developer's Kit.  It shows you
   how to turn an existing C program into an "installable" executable
   that can be called from the kernel.
