How can I compile C-- code on Windows 7 or Windows XP? I want to compile some sample C-- code, but the only compiler available on the language's website is for Linux.

Why not just boot your PC from a suitable Linux "Live CD" temporarily so that you can use the Linux-based compiler ? – Paul R Sep 09 '11 at 10:56

Download the tarball, extract it, then typically it's ./configure && make && sudo make install. – Paul R Sep 09 '11 at 12:04

The best way to build such things on Windows is to use either cygwin or mingw. These are designed to give you a Linux compatible compilation environment within Windows. You can then just build and install as per the Linux instructions, but the resulting tool will run on Windows; as you desired.
