Or you could search the web for "msys" which turns up this page, with instructions on installing MSYS: http://www.mingw.org/wiki/MSYS As others have said, if you want to do Windows-style, GUI-driven development, then download Windows-style, GUI-driven IDEs that include compilers, editors etc. in one system. If you want to use GCC and run a command-line compiler, stop complaining on the gcc mailing lists that it's not a GUI. And if you don't want to build GCC from source, don't download the source package and complain that it's a lot of files, use one of the options given at http://gcc.gnu.org/install/binaries.html And if you have problems with those, you're better off asking for help from those projects, not GCC.
