Use Eclipse CDT IDE with MinGW Compiler. Download MinGW64 which is better. You can do C and C++ Programming. MinGW is available from sourceforge.net

I would recommend using Code::Blocks rather than Eclipse for an IDE, Code::Blocks is also compatible with GCC distros like Mingw, AVR-GCC, etc.

Code::Blocks

Code::Blocks Installation w/Mingw
