			=== Tiny C Compiler ===
			The [https://bellard.org/tcc/ Tiny C compiler] is supported. Go to the [http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/tinycc/ download page] and select the version that you want. If you chose the Win32 version, make sure to also get the winapi. Extract the compiler to "C:\tcc" so that the binary is at "C:\tcc\tcc.exe". Code::Blocks should auto-detect the compiler there.
