I've found that mingw & cygwin (both are windows versions of gcc) are
pretty happy compiling code originally designed to compile with gcc
(linux).
Both cygwin & mingw are free.
(Cygwin is more of a collection of *nix tools that work on windows.)
I should also mention that both mingw & cygwin are/use 'minimal' ports
of gcc. That means fancy things, like wide characters, don't work. If
you keep it simple you should be fine.
