After attempting the above I received the error : error: You should not use mingw32 for gcc >= 4.6.0. Use mingw64 instead, e.g.:python setup.py build_ext -c mingw64 I altered the [build] entry in the distutils.cfg file to read compiler=mingw32 and had success.
MINGW refers to executables that are compiled using the MINGW GCC Compiler and target the Win32 API. MSYS2 refers to executables that are compiled by MSYS2 GCC Compiler and make use of a POSIX emulation layer.

- Compilers Installation and Configuration
Each Python version uses a specific compiler version (e.g. CPython 2.7 uses Visual C++ 9.0, CPython 3.3 uses Visual C++ 10.0, etc). So, you need to install the compiler version that corresponds to your Python version :
If the package's setup.py (still) uses distutils rather than the recommended setuptools, you may need extra steps: 1. distutils only supports the very minimum of compiler setups. The sections in this guide corresponding to them explicitly mention distutils. 2. For other setups, you need to run the compilation from the "SDK prompt" of the correspond...

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++.
Finally, tell Python to use MinGW as the default compiler (otherwise it will try for Visual C). If Python is installed to “c:\Python27”, create a file named “c:\Python27\Lib\distutils\distutils.cfg” containing: [build] compiler = mingw32.
I can compile using MSVC from windows, gcc10/gcc9 from WSL or clang (can't remember the version) from the FreeBSD box. As of VS 2019 version 16.8 (10NOV20), MSVC is C11/C17 compliant.
