Im learning C++ and Id like to find GNU C++ source code for programs
that run on windows to study and play with. Can anyone tell me where I
can find this?

Visit there and install cygwin packages with the source.

If by GNO C++ you mean C++ code that is compatible with the g++
compiler, this should not be a problem. Pretty much any decent,
standard-adhering C++ code can be compiled with g++. For this kind of
stuff use Google.com, just a search on '"c++" windows programming'
came up with tons of results. Here's a good one:

Good luck with learning this stuff. The windows API will probably look
like a jungle af the beginning, and it is, but you'll get used to it
pretty fast.

At http://sourceforge.net/softwaremap/t...p?form_cat=214 you
will find a list of over 700 open source projects running under
windows, may of them done in C++. There's quite some rubble in that
list, but also quite good software. If such programs are still over
your head start going through tutorials on the subjects you do not
understand. I do not know how new you are to C++ but multiple-file
sources and the use of various libraries, or even the syntax of C++
itself, might cause confusion.

I can't help you with that, i've never installed Dev-C++. Can't be too
hard though, i guess it comes with some kind of readme file.
