You will only have GCC/G++ if you've installed MINGW in Windows.
Additionally, I've found using Code:Blocks, a free IDE, makes working with
GTK in Windows a cinch.  You also get the advantage of being able to use
Code:Blocks in Linux and share the workspaces and all that jazz.

MINGW - mingw.org
Code:Blocks - codeblocks.org
