I am making a game engine editor and I would like the user to be able to build the game from within the editor. To do this they obviously need to run a compiler, such as gcc, with some flags.

Considering the editor is written in C# and is cross-platform (using Mono) what is a good way to run gcc from within the program?

EDIT: The actual game (not the editor) is written in c++ and requires gcc.
