Hi I am a retired Medical Physicist and would like to know more about

I downloaded a snapshot of gcc 4.8 and now have it untarred and

Where can I find information on how to configure and use it.
On Windows it is much easier to download pre-built binaries rather
than configure it yourself. The GCC project does not provide any
binaries itself, but there is a list of sources for Windows builds at
http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/GFortranBinaries#Windows
I've just realised using "sources" in that sentence is a bit
confusing, I mean there is a list of places to get pre-built Windows
binaries at http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/GFortranBinaries#Windows
(I don't mean you should get the source code from those sites.)
Apologies for any confusion.
Anyway, you need one of those pre-built configurations even if you may
eventually proceed to building a snapshot.
cygwin provides a full selection of pre-built gcc 4.8.2 (and source
code) for 32- and 64-bit, both mingw and cygwin dll versions, with
OpenMP working, which is not default for Windows.
