DJGPP is totally free, and is perhaps one of the best compilers in
existence.  To learn more about it, visit http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/
and read as much as you need.  When you are ready to start, go to
ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2/ and get the file
'readme.1st'.  This describes the exact process to use to select the
packages you need, download them, install them for use on your system,
and get started with your programming.

Once you get started, I seriously recommend that in addition to any
other packages you obtain, you get the Frequently Asked Questions list
(v2/faq202b.zip), and the Info documentation browser that you'll need to
read it (v2gnu/txi390b.zip).  It has a wealth of useful information on
system requirements, getting started, switching from other compilers to
DJGPP, solving configuration problems, graphics, hardware programming,
and much much more.

Also, if you have any problems that you cannot resolve, or just need
some advice, feel free to post here and ask for help.  Check the FAQ
section 6.12 for the proper format to use in posting configuration
problems, or visit my web page for the alpha version of a DJGPP
diagnostic tool that performs a similar function.

Good luck!
