Looking for a portable version of g++ for windows ?

[Dave_Connor]

With a C++ programming class there is a program that I hate using and prefer using GNU C++ compiler. Is there a way to run this program on a portable USB drive ?

mingw?

Google "install cygwin on usb drive" and you'll see instructions. I installed cygwin on my work pc specifically so I could use gcc when doing my programming homework. Haven't used it on a flash drive, but google says it works.

As the previous posters have mentioned, the two main alternatives are mingw (http://www.mingw.org/) and cygwin (http://www.cygwin.com/). Try googling "mingw vs cygwin" for comparisons.

EDIT: Sorry, I spaced out on the part about running from a portable usb drive. Those links will provide background, but black_rob's suggestion will probably be more relevant to your question.
