SFU comes with the ability to use MSVC and gcc/g++. The gcc compiler comes with the SFU installation when you select from the Custom install option. Note that BOTH the Interix SDK and the GNU SDK must be installed. The MSVC compiler is a separate download that is now free. It is recommended that you have MSVC installed before installing SFU, but you can do it after. You need to have at least the Interix SDK installed. The utilities cc and c89 are used to control MSVC compiling programs. You can get more information on downloading MSVC from: http://msdn.microsoft.com/visualc/vctoolkit2003/.
