 It is at the top of the page. Run mingw-get-inst-20120426.exe (662.7kB) and it will install MinGW with GCC 4.6, Libiconv, Gettext-0.18.1.1-2, and libintl-0.18.1.1-2. This is quite a large down load and requires some additions to the starting menu.

 You can edit your path in the "system property" dialog of windows (easy on XP but a little more obscure in Vista and Windows 7). Be very careful editing the path, any syntax errors will stop the creation of the cmakecache.txt when paths can't be found. Remove the paths to other instances of mingw.
