By the way, Albert, have you checked on your Linux machine to see whether you already have GCC installed there? If not, installation is usually very easy--for instance, with Ubuntu, you would use the apt-get package manager:
sudo apt-get install gcc
Also, as retired staff from Trinity College, do you still have access to Trinity machines? If so, you could just install a simple Telnet/SSH application on your Windows machine, connect by SSH to a remote machine on campus that runs Linux with GCC, and work that way.
