   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.

   MinGW is a port of GCC for Windows which provides a set of runtime header files and a GNU binutils for Windows. It allows developers to compile applications written in C, C++, and Fortran directly into native Windows executables.

   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 (-W64)?

   • MinGW (-w64) are projects providing Free (as in Public Domain) Win32 headers and libraries. You can see this as a Free replacement for the headers and libraries in the Windows SDK (of old). These can be used in conjunction with GCC. Both projects and other third parties provide native GCC builds for Windows, which do not need Cygwin at all.

   Is Cygwin required to use GCC on Windows?

   • GCC is just one of the many C/C++ compilers out there. @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, C99 (C11 upcoming) support, etc...

   How to install mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc?

   • Apply the command pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-gcc to install the compilers. ⚠️ If you are using a 32 bit operating system, then you have to apply the command pacman -S mingw-w64-i686-gcc in your 32 bit terminal. Wait for a little while. Type Y or y and press the enter key if you get the installation prompts.

   Is Cygwin better than MinGW?

   • Cygwin, as mentioned in another post, will have extra dependencies and possible license issues (the dependency is GPL, so your programs must be, too). MinGW does not have any such dependency or issue. MinGW also compiles significantly slower than MSVC (though precompiled headers help a little).

   Feb 11, 2022 · The main problem with that distribution is that there can be confusion as to which shell you need to run to get things done: "mingw32" shell. "mingw64" shell. "msys2" shell. You'd think that "mingw64" and "msys2" would provide the same C compiler environment, but they do not.
