How to install GCC on Windows 10 for use in VS2017

Question

In attempting to build this solution:

https://github.com/garuma/PiHueSphinx

I am seeing this in the output window:

gcc -Wall -ggdb -shared -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/include/sphinxbase -I/usr/local/include/pocketsphinx -L/usr/local/lib -lpocketsphinx -lsphinxad -lsphinxbase -o \libsphinx_hue_detection.so sphinx_hue_detection.c

I am building on Windows 10 with Visual Studio 2017 Enterprise.

This post does not show how to get GCC installed or working on Windows:

How can I get GCC installed and working from a .csproj file (as done in the above project)?
