Is there a way to set up Emacs so I can compile C-code to an exe from
within emacs itself?
Perhaps this is even a built-in?

Is gcc the preferred C-compiler for most?

DO I have to put a path to a c-compiler in .emacs?

I use windows btw.

Yes. Tell it how to do it in compile-mode (i.e., pass the compile  
command).

Compile-mode knows how to handle a [Mm]akefile.

For me: yes.

Whatever you'd write on a command line.

If it isn't in the PATH, yes.  Put it in `exec-path'.
