GCC stands for GNU compiler collection. There are precompiled versions / binaries of the GCC for windows available here.
Gcc for Windows (gcw) is yet another attempt to port gcc to Win32 platform. The major difference from MinGw and Cygwin is maximum possible acceptance of Microsoft Visual C++ source code and intended binary compatibility with Microsoft Visual C++.

500 Internal Server Error on Localhost for Web.Developer Server Suite was pissing me off for a long time. The Apache error logs shows “RewriteEngine not allowed here”. Deleting .htaccess would fix the problem, but here is the fix. It’s a problem with mod_rewrite module and Apache’s AllowOverride configuration. Here’s how to fix it :
Firstly, make sure LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so is enabled in httpd.conf (Remove # before the line to enable)
Then, edit httpd.conf .. Find out the foll lines and mod -
<Directory “/www/vhosts/localhost”> #replace this with your dir name
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
AllowOverride All #Added
</Directory>
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
# AllowOverride Limit #Old Value
AllowOverride All #Added
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Satisfy all
</Directory>
