You downloaded the source code of the entire GCC suite. GPS is not a GCC FSF thing, it's an IDE.

Given your question, I think you will have hard time, you have to compile everything, and you need
a bootstrap compiler in your system in order to do that. And you have to build Binutils first, plus an obscene
amount of libraries.

That being said, I strongly suggest to not build GCC on windows, it will take ages.
