Okay, I've never programmed on a Windows machine before. What's the simplest way to compile a small command line C++ program? I don't want a fancy IDE or anything like that, I just want to be able to compile something simple.

Chances are whatever you're trying to do can be accomplished quicker and/or easier with another language.




AMIRITE?

I should say that the problem isn't that I don't know any C++. I just haven't ever coded on a windows machine before. I don't have gcc or whatever. All I'm looking for is a simple C++ compiler.
