Apr 4, 2015 · To use GCC's C++ compiler, I suggest you use either my packages (to create 32-bit and 64-bit executables) or mingw-builds. Alternatively, you can install Cygwin and use its setup.exe to install the MinGW-w64 cross-compiler and use it from there, but if you do not need near-perfect Unix emulation for build scripts, I'd suggest against it.
I use msys2 to setup the latest mingw/gcc and clang branch on windows. It's all seemless. I use them as I use a lot of C dependancies and MSVC is real poor at handling c projects.
The default standard library (libstdc++) has better C++20 and C++23 support than Clang's (libc++) but not as good as Visual C++. Developing Windows applications with GCC (mingw-GCC) generally means shipping extra DLLs with your program, for the standard library.
Feb 6, 2023 · MinGW is a native C/C++ compiler(GCC) which have free distributable import libraries and header files for building native Windows applications. In this tutorial, we are going to install MinGW for C/C++.
Nov 5, 2015 · mingw-gcc-g++ is a 32 bit compiler for native 32 bit Windows. mingw64-x86_64-gcc-g++ is a 64 bit compiler for native 64 bit Windows. mingw64-i686-gcc-g++ is a 64 bit compiler for native 32 bit Windows. So it all depends if you run in a 64 bit Windows and what target you want (cygwin or native Windows). Share. Improve this answer.
In this tutorial, you configure Visual Studio Code to use the GCC C++ compiler (g++) and GDB debugger from mingw-w64 to create programs that run on Windows. After configuring VS Code, you will compile, run, and debug a Hello World program.
