Hi:

You get mingw32 and gcc 3.4.2 when you install DevCpp from
http://www.bloodshed.net/devcpp.html/.  It's a no brainer install which
gives you a nifty IDE as a bonus.

The only downside is no auto-config tools so you must create  IDE
project(s) or a custom external Makefile.

I mention this possibility because many free softwares rely on mingw but
it does not work for some people. I am one of the mingw-challenged.  :-)
