Hi,

in my experience the best way to have GSL on windows is to use the
mingw compiler and tool chain and to build the library from the
source, in a similar way of what you will do on Linux. You may
encounter some problems related to the windows environment but
globally everything is quite okay.

I had an internship at work and my student was using codeblock C++. I
think this is ok too but I think is better mingw itself because you
understand how things works and don't depend on a visual ide.

May be you can compile the GSL library with the Visual Studio compiler
from MS but I personally don't know a lot about this approach.
