You may either keep using GCC (that's a 'darned' good C++ compiler) and fix the problem you are experiencing (you may find help on the web just googling for the very error message) or switch to the Microsoft compiler (you could use the Community Edition of Visual Studio).

Neither cygwin or mingw are C/C++ compilers, so it is no wonder you are confused. If you are on Windows then get a copy of Visual Studio. If you are on Linux then get a copy of gcc if it is not already installed.

I would also suggest learning C/C++ first, since the above error should not be too difficult to resolve.
