I think the instructions for downloading the compiler is a bit hard to find on http://mingw.org/. Maybe the instructions on this page are those to recommend: http://www.mingw.org/wiki/HOWTO_Install_the_MinGW_GCC_Compiler_Suite That page says there is an installer which they recommend for a beginner. Has anyone tried that?
