Last time I checked, DJGPP (http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/) created DOS 
executables only. For "true" Windows applications, you can use MinGW 
(http://www.mingw.org/).

DevC++ (http://www.bloodshed.net/devcpp.html) works equally well with both 
compilers.

Wouter is right - if you just follow the steps, installation is painless.
