Apr 4, 2015 · GCC is just one of the many C/C++ compilers out there. – Blender. Apr 29, 2013 at 7:35. @Celeritas Cygwin is not required to use GCC on Windows, MinGW (-w64) is (to provide system headers and libraries). It is desirable to have GCC on Windows, because it has better C++11 language support (library is still lacking in view of MSVS2012), fortran ...

For instance, import libs are still mandatory (for outdated historical reasons), unlike Mingw-w64 where they're completely optional. 16.
You should take a look at Code::Blocks or Visual Studio. MinGW is a C++ compiler suite, and yes you do need it if you are going to use an IDE like Eclipse (or Code::Blocks). Visual Studio comes with Microsoft's compiler, so you don't need MinGW to work with it. I'm wondering what MinGW is for.
As far as I'm aware 64-bit versions of g++ only use a scheme based on SEH, Windows' own low level exception handling, so the differences are mainly of historic interest. Well, unless you have to use a 32-bit version, in which case go for SJLJ as most generally safe, though not fastest. 4. Reply. Award.

Nov 7, 2011 · GCC works and can be used with any IDE other than Visual Studio. Even Visual Studio Code can use GCC. Code::Blocks, Eclipse IDE for C/C++ developers, CLion, Notepad++ and even the good ol' tool we've always known, Notepad works with GCC. And finally, on a PC with low disk space, installing Visual Studio's "Desktop Development with C++" is ...
