Minimalist C++ Compilers [SOLVED]

Are there any good minimalist C++ compilers (for Windows) out there that someone can recommend? By minimalist I mean nothing fancy, no IDE, just a command line compiler, preferably that doesn't require installation. I see MinGW, but it looks like it requires installation of several things.

    I can't find a version of gcc that doesn't require Linux or installation of something. Am I missing something?

    Ah, try installing Cygwin (www.cygwin.com).

    It provides a pseudo-Bash shell, but also comes with things like gcc that work with Windows.

    Does that work for your purposes?

    Not really, unless Cygwin has changed since I last used it years ago (required a large installation).

    Give MinGW a try.
    http://www.mingw.org/
    It's a windows port of GCC.

    Alright, I think MinGW will work after all. I guess this can be locked now.

    Thanks for the replies.
