If you can't or don't want to install an MS supplied toolchain I would suggest looking in to installing MSYS and MinGW in order to get an environment set up so code can be compiled. There are additional library dependencies that will also need to be installed. It is isn't going to be simple as there are a number of steps involved but I don't think it is that bad overall. I have been able to set up an build environment on one of my Windows based machines. I don't know how easily a non-programmer would be able to get everything place to build GIMP and some of its dependencies.
IIRC, I documented the process I went through to set up MSYS/MinGW for building code but that was long before the multiple programming language support now required to build GIMP. I'll look for my old notes in case it might help.
