installing gcc 4.8.2 for eclipse juno on windows 7
hi there,
my name is arillious alyas and im having some trouble with installing gcc 4.8.2.
ive written the infamouse hello world tutorial to simply go through the paces of knowing what happens when a program is compiled.
however i have a problem. program g++ can not be found in PATH. SO to make sure i have the latest compiler/ collection of compilers i Google searched for the gcc. doing so i found a tar.bz2 and .gz files, from the GNU website.
long story short, any step by step guidance would be appreciated on how to install gcc and get eclipse working so I can write and compile software.
im a novice although I've been studying the c++ syntax for sometime, but using IDE's I'm at a loss. Ive gotten basic functionality down: perspectives, workspace, but setting up preferences for tool chains, choosing compilers, and console commands and mixing it all up along with setting variables (PATH OR ${AVAR}, I get what a var is and if i'm not mistaken the latter of the two is a var inside of another var?) and commands is scrambling my brain.
looking for a some clarity from a more experienced mind.
in short. i just wanna set eclipse up to compile code i write.
thanks for your help if you have the time.
fyi: im using windows 7 on a home built pc. im using IDE eclipse Juno (i like to think ive got the stuff to write any program i want, however using the ide and compiler and knowing the ins and outs is bottle knecking me and is a bit discouraging as im excited to start on a personal project. so that being said any additional information or tutorials that aid in better understanding of using an IDE such as eclipse and installing cool things like compiler collections would be so sweet.
thanks all.

If you want to, you can download microsoft visual c++ 2010, it comes with the editor, compiler etc. It's free too.
If you don't want that, download code::blocks from their site (the one that's up to or more than 98mb), it comes with the compiler, editor etc.
