Does anyone know where to download a good free C compiler for DOS/Windows? I'd prefer a command-line one but that's not essential. I used to have a really good one that allowed me to just specify the source code, specify the name of the exe file and hit enter. But I lost that in a hard drive crash and now I can't find it again. Googling only turns up horrible awkward ones that require me to pissfart around with worksheets and endless windows and dialog boxes. My rule is, if it takes longer to get the compiler to compile a "Hello world" program than it did to code it, it's no good.

Can anyone help me out?

Thanks,

You want MingW (http://www.mingw.org/)

Is THAT what that's for?

I followed a guy named OmbooHankvald's "Idiot's Guide to Making an Optimized ecm.exe File," and one of the instructions involved installing MinGW.

Interesting to find out it's a C compiler. Can it do anything else?

For some reason I keep getting corrupt files when I try to download and install that. Not too sure what's going on. Thanks anyway, I'll try it again later.
