Aren't there any free C compilers native to Windows? Hasn't GCC been targeted at Windows native?
GCC isn't a freely licensed compiler. The GCC compiler is licensed under the highly restrictive GPL license. For a freely licensed C compiler try the pcc compiler at http://pcc.ludd.ltu.se/ . You can also try clang at http://clang.llvm.org/ . With a year, GCC will be replaced in the superior BSD flavored operating systems. Sincerely, Rjack
