    Does anyone have a recommendation for a gcc compiler on windows?
    Visual Studio.
    Last time I checked, Visual Studio is not a Windows port of GCC (would love to be proven wrong...).

    Create a project, add your files, go to build -> build solution. Done. Simple.
    Apparently
    Code:
    gcc homework.c
    is simpler for him. Ho ho ho.



    there is at least one other user here who prefers to use this unofficial MinGW distribution
    That would be me . That distribution used to use a newer version of GCC (but I think the official distribution has GCC 4.3 now as well. It also has a bunch of commonly used libraries included (which can be good or bad depending on your POV) - Boost, SDL, and some multimedia formats libraries.

    It was not in response to that question, if you look carefully on what was quoted.

    That doesn't matter. What I was trying to prove is that compiling from VS is not as difficult as the OP believes or tries to share.
