- No, there's no particular difference, and you should be able to use your existing compiler if you add it to PATH (directly from the shell, since I think by default it doesn't respect PATH from Windows settings).

Mar 9, 2016 · Open CASCADE Technology 7.0.0.rc can be built using MinGW-w64 on Windows platform. MinGW is a minimalistic development environment for developing native Windows applications based on GCC. Project MinGW-w64 is its fork aimed to support 64-bit target and new APIs.
For mingw, you want to download and install MSYS2. Using the builtin terminal, search for gcc pacman -Ss gcc. You can install gcc for "mingw32", "mingw64", or "ucrt64"; I always use "ucrt64" pacman -S ucrt64/mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-gcc.
Apr 22, 2016 · MSVC is doing the compilation job significantly faster than MinGW-w64. The DLL sizes are comparable, if optimization is set to "-O2" for MinGW-w64, with "-O3" the DLLs from MinGW-w64 are larger. Binary files compiled with MinGW-w64 are performing significantly better than those compiled with MSVC.
Nov 7, 2011 · MSVC has the huge advantage of coming with an IDE that has no equals under Windows, including debugger support. The probably best alternative for MinGW would be Code::Blocks, but there are worlds in between, especially regarding code completion and the debugger.
Some software only supports MSVC on Windows (e.g. CPython, including native modules) so you may have to use it. The only advantage is that you get a statically-linked CRT — versus linking against an old msvcrt.dll per Mingw-w64 — though historically Microsoft's UCRT has been kind of buggy, and those bugs then get baked into your binaries.
Dec 10, 2015 · I use MinGW-w64 with C::B , and also have a separate install of Cygwin for shell utilities. This is good so long as you don't need a GUI. VS Community is probably the "highest score" if you add up the scores of the compiler and the GUI builder.

Dec 11, 2023 · Setting up a C/C++ toolchain on windows is more of a pain than on Linux but once it's done correctly it should work more or less equally. You can also just use visual studio if you want it to be handled automatically.
