#175880 - Code::Blocks + MinGW
Responding to: ???'s previous message
You can find a huge number of free compilers.

But instead of Cygwin, I would recommend that you take a look at the Code::Blocks IDE paired with the MinGW (Minimalist Gnu for Windows) port of the gcc compiler. The MinGW is a native Windows compiler so you will not need Cygwin and your produced exe files will not need any cygwin dll. There is also a 64-bit version of MinGW available.

Cygwin is best if you need to port Unix applications into the Windows world, since the Cygwin environment supprorts most of the Unix API. It is also a good way to get a Unix-compatible build environment for Make. If you go the Code::Blocks route but still needs good support for Unix-adapted Makefile builds, then you need to add a bit of helper applications. Look at Unxutils at Sourceforge.
