    how to install gnu C compiler for Windows?

    I easily installed the gcc compiler on Solaris by running the tar xvf command. All files got uncompressed, and I can then use the compiler because gcc got installed on Solaris.

    I tried to do the same on Windows, and it's not as simple. I must be doing something wrong.

    I simply want to download the gnu C compiler to my Windows PC, and run an "install" to install it, and then, use the gcc compiler.

    What site do I need to go to do this? If there are instructions to properly install it, please post. Thank you.

    As far as I know, you just need to unzip the files, add the bin directory to your path and start compiling. What package are you using - mingw, cygwin?
    Code:
    #include <cmath>
    #include <complex>
    bool euler_flip(bool value)
    {
        return std::pow
        (
            std::complex<float>(std::exp(1.0)), 
            std::complex<float>(0, 1) 
            * std::complex<float>(std::atan(1.0)
            *(1 << (value + 2)))
        ).real() < 0;
    }
