Can only one recommend a simple & lightweight cmd line compiler for small quick scripts in both C & C++. I have tired installing MinGW but it has issues under vista. I don't know of a way to use just gcc or if its even possible. I use the free MS Visual C++ but its too much trouble to deal with simple C scripts as I am rather new. I would love to just have gcc run from inside my system32 folder if there is a way to do it. Open to any ideas or flames.
