To compile your code you have to use devkitARM. It comes with many examples and predefined templates, so you should figure it out how to make it.
You can also take a look at one of the excellent tutorials.

I dont get it. How do you write anything if you cant compile?
I know there are prodigy coders, but i would yet have to see someone writing entire game for a system that is new to him/her never compiling it at any stage for testing, and still come up with something working.

1. Download DevKitPro.
2. Install DevKitARM and libnds and the examples.
3. In the /DevKitPro/examples/ directory find the templates directory.
4. Copy the arm9 directory and rename it to "myfirstproject".
5. Point your command-prompt to the "myfirstproject" directory and run "make".
You should get a myfirstproject.nds.

Wintermute doesn't recommend using Cygwin with devkitARM. If you want an environment similar to Cygwin, with Bash and a healthy amount of GNU Coreutils, then take Cygwin out of your path (even if temporarily) and use MSYS, which devkitPro Updater usually installs alongside devkitARM.
