The last few years, you've been able to get an Express Edition of VisualStudio
for free.
I can't remember what all the restrictions were; I believe you couldn't get a
64-bit version for at least one or two iterations. I don't know how much of the
IDE is missing in the free one, because I'm only building stuff on Windows--and
that under duress--I don't code there.
But if you just wanted to build a Windows program, and you can't get MinGW
working (either the standalone or the Cygwin-hosted one), it would do the job.
I do everything I can to get stuff to work with MinGW GCC, though; VisualStudio
has some ridiculous compiler-version-sensitive runtime issues even for C. I
only put up with nonsense like that for C++.
OK, I actually do everything I can to make Windows someone else's problem.
