While you shouldn't get that warning because all the needed stuff should 
be included in the installer, the only effect should be to make Geany 
look ugly instead of fake-native-windows appearance.

As others mentioned you should be OK using just about any compiler. The 
only issue I can think of is that if you don't use a GCC-style compiler 
like GCC, Clang or (maybe?) ICC, it may not be able to parse the 
diagnostic messages out-of-the box. If you were to use something like 
MSVC++, you likely would have to customize the "error regular 
expression" so it can properly parse the diagnostic messages.
