How to program in C on Mac Leopard without XCode IDE?

I have just come to Mac world from Linux world and I love my way around in Mac environment. I want to write and practice simple C programs in mac and I was searching for the tools I require. Most (All) of the resources in the web ask me to use XCode as IDE to do programming in C on Mac. XCode, for my purpose seems to be an overkill. I am in no way interested in developing iPhone or Mac GUI application. All I want is

enter C programs using a text editor,
compile it ,
and get the output in a Console.

How can I do it ?

Thanks.

Solution

the 3 steps you give are simply the answer already:

use text editor of choice
use eg Terminal and compile on command line (simply using gcc, or cmake/make or so for more complex programs)
run program on console
