For that, I recommend MinGW (assuming you're still a Windows user after your reinstall). However, if you don't mind using a slightly outdated version, you can get a precompiled binary for Windows.

I wouldn't wish building from source on anyone who doesn't already have the software required for it :P
Building Firefox from source, for instance, is a nightmare if you're only used to Visual Studio projects.
Trade yourself in for the perfect one. No one needs to know that you feel you've been ruined!
