  Just use an external makefile or a custom build rule at your choice.

  If it's win32 apps you want to build, you'd need a mingw version of the
compiler.

  If you want to cross compile from MSVC, I would probably go about it by
installing cygwin, installing the cross compiler under cygwin, and using a
custom build rule to invoke bash with arguments telling it to cd into the
source directory and execute 'make'.

  If you want the errors to show up in the error log and be clickable-on,
you'll need some kind of parser that interprets Gcc's format of error
messages and outputs them in MSVC-compatible format.  You can find a utility
to do that along with instructions on how to invoke it from a makefile rule
here:

http://www.xs4all.nl/~borkhuis/vxworks/vxw_pt1.html#1.13

  That page refers to the VxWorks O/S in general, but the system compiler
for VxWorks is gcc, so most of the advice there would be at least partially
relevant.
