   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.

   On Windows the 'native' C compiler might be MSVC. You look up info online using terms like 'msdn printf'. But in fact you can use any C compiler, which will all be self-contained (there is no OS-owned /usr/include). I use MinGW GCC C compiler in Windows. man 3 printf leads to manual page in linux.

   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.

   Nov 5, 2015 · The names are quite clear to me: cygwin32-gcc-g++ is a compiler for 32 bit cygwin. gcc-g++ is the basic 64 bit compiler (you probably must install this one). mingw-gcc-g++ is a 32 bit compiler for native 32 bit Windows.

   Is GCC/MinGW a good compiler?

   • Despite all that, GCC/MinGW is an entirely reliable quality compiler, which in my opinion outperforms any to date available version of MSVC in terms of quality of generated code. This is somewhat less pronounced with the most recent versions of MSVC, but still visible.

   Should I use GCC (MinGW) or MSYS2?

   • I would go with gcc (MinGW) or clang. If you combine it with MSyS2, you get nearly a linux-like environment. There is no reason to use MSVC, except you have to. It's a bloated compiler (Like some GBs of installation), not supporting newer C than C99 IIRC, and it is nearly unusable from the commandline

   What is MinGW & how does it work?

   • MinGW includes a simplified port of the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC), a compiler system for Linux. It also provides developer utilities for Windows like an assembler, linker, etc. Freely distributable Windows-specific header files and libraries that support the use of the Windows application programming interfaces (API) are also provided by MinGW.

   Why should we choose MinGW over Cygwin?

   • Since both Cygwin and MinGW can be used to execute C programs on Windows, let’s look at the differences between the two and why we ought to choose MinGW over Cygwin. The motto of Cygwin, which is ‘Get that Linux feeling on Windows’, clearly tells us its intended purpose. Cygwin helps users to port Linux applications to Windows.

   Can Cygwin run GCC on Windows?

   • So, it is theoretically possible to run any Linux application on Windows using Cygwin, including GCC (the compiler systems of Linux). So if GCC can be installed and executed on Windows using Cygwin, why should we use MinGW?

   Sep 11, 2011 · 1. @tjameson: MinGW is not a conversion between Linux and Windows APIs. MinGW provides a compiler and some necessary tools to produce native Windows executables, i.e. executables that run without the need of a third-party runtime library, but use the available Microsoft C-runtime.
