Where can I install G++/GCC for windows 8?

Question

Newbie programmer here, I'm getting an error when using Eclipse saying
"G++/GCC not found in path"

So apparently I need a compiler? I need a download link to g++ since I can't find it anywhere on the web.. I went on to GNU collection's website but there is NO download link for G++,

thanks.

The usual resources would be MinGW (32-bits) or MinGW-W64 (64-bits). Start with these links

• MinGW-w32 vs. MinGW
• MinGW — Minimalist GNU for Windows
• MinGW-w64 - for 32 and 64 bit Windows (Since the mingw-w64 project on sourceforge.net is moving to mingw-w64.org i suggest to use mingw-w64.org)
• mingw-w64 — GCC for Windows 64 & 32 bits
