Gnu C++

I'm using Win 2000 and BC++ I want to get GNU C++, but I know nothing about Linux/Unix.
1. Is GNU C++ usable on Win 2000 platform?
2. If so, does it provide IDE?
3. Is it compiled and linked at command prompt?
4. How to get GNU C++ and how to use it?

Yes. Using DJGPP or that MinGW/Cygwin.

No, it doesn't. RHIDE is for DJGPP but it's a DOS program. XEmacs is quite good from Linux/Unix world.

The programs are compiled at command prompt(but most editors, like Emacs, handle this). The compiler itself is available in binaries.

http://gcc.gnu.org/install/binaries.html
For DJGPP: http://www.delorie.com/gnu/docs/gcc/gcc_toc.html

I was told that some compilers are usable on Win2000 but system environment must be changed to UNIX. Please tell me which one is recommended for a non-linux user. As I need to compile and link them at c:\> prompt not $ prompt.
