okay...how the freakin heck do you install GCC....and what files do i download?

I need GCC because I have a programming contest coming up this Saturday...and all of our C++ programs have to be able to compile for GCC.

Of course I am running Windows XP, and GCC is for Linux.

So my friend tells me, "oh get Cygwin, it comes with gcc built in."

So I get Cygwin. Does it have gcc built in? NO.

And the GCC website is just confusing....

grrr
