Netbook, GCC on windows

[Paul Maddox]

Guys,

  Ok, so I joined the netbook world today. I bought an Acer Aspire One  
with windows, 120G HDD, 1G Ram, wi-fi, etc, etc and so far I'm rally  
impressed. My wife also got one, but with Linux and she's loving hers.  
I got windows because I want to retain use of my Compiler  
(CodeVisionAVR), and it will only be used for coding work (and VMWare  
Fusion's USB interface doesn't work with my programmer, believe me I  
tried everything).

  So, I'd like to install GCC so I can build simple command line apps  
(the one I wrote on the Mac, I'd like to compile and build on my  
little PC), now, is there an "idiots guide" to installing GCC and then  
compiling a "Hello World" app under windoze xp?

  Many thanks
Paul
