Download and install MinGW. This contains all of the GNU compiler tools except for automake, configure, make, and gdb (the GNU debugger). So that measn all of the compilers for Ada, C, C++, Fortran77, Java, and so on are included.

Just for the sake of completeness, Cygwin *does* contain GCC - it isnt installed by default tho. You have to select it yourself from category "Development".
