Yes, I knew mingw since a long time. There is also a nice IDE which works
with mingw, Bloodshed C++.

I remembered, if we need visual studio to compile wxWidgets (I'm not sure
about its requirements), the whole Microsoft compiler and linker can be
downloaded for free. (It comes with no graphical interface.)
If you need, I'll post the links.

 Tschau,
