Hi Marc,

How about using Dev-C++?

It's a Windows IDE with a GCC backend, and has a nice rep (and a Linux
port):

http://sourceforge.net/projects/dev-cpp/

It's always in SF.net's "Top 10" most worked on projects too, with about
roughly 7,000 downloads per day. It can generate mingwin code too.

:-)

Regards and best wishes,

Justin Clift
