I haven't used gcc for the Windows compiles. I use it mostly in Linux. Linux is a free replacement for Windows. While that tends not to matter for most people, because they either stole it, or it came with the PC, Linux is available.
With linux, there is gcc, the compiler. It runs in Windows, or so my brother tells me. He said it was a strange adventure, using it in Windows. I hope you're good with computers if you intend to make it work. In linux, it's:
./configure
make
su -c "make install"
to install most things using gcc...
Windows doesn't have it so easy. My brother told me of logging into a linux terminal emulator, and running the linux version of gcc for Windows compatibility. I'm not sure why he made it so difficult, but that's my brother for you :P.
