Doing this in an admin Command Prompt. I'm following the github wiki's tutorial for building from source. I done all of the steps successfully up until:
run git checkout develop && godep go install
Which results in the output:
blah blah...
#include <gmp.h>
compilation terminated.
godep: go exit status 2
However, I've installed winbuild 1.5.0 for native windows, which installed gmp. I've closed the terminal, restarted, still nothing. So... two questions: what do I do to fix this? Is it safe/a good idea to use the chocolatey build of geth as an alternative?

You can download Oracle VirtualBox for free and can run Linux inside Windows. It's pretty easy to set up.
Edit: I can help you if you want. First step is to download VirtualBox, then download the lastest version of Linux Mint. Then "install" Linux via VirtualBox and run it. If you have further questions, feel free to ask.
