c++ terminal and compiler for windows

[tjmohney]

Can anyone suggest a good free compiler and terminal to use for Windows.. thats closly related to UNIX??

[Texan40]

I'd look into either MSYS or Cygwin

gnu gcc and there isn't really a terminal but cygwin acts as a nice emulator

i have installed cygin as well as arachnophilia .. but i cant get them to communicate with each other .. any suggestions
