  1. So, in a very very simplified sentence: MinGW (-w64) is a "no-frills compiler thingie" that lets you write native binary executables for Windows, not only in C and C++, but also other languages. Do you know the history behind the -w64 fork of MinGW and why they so inconveniently chose to call it "w64"?

    Although programs produced under MinGW are 32-bit executables, they can be used both in 32 and 64-bit versions of Windows. The development of the MinGW project has been forked with the creation in 2005–2008 of an alternative project called Mingw-w64.

  4. Mingw-w64 is an advancement of the original mingw.org project, created to support the GCC compiler on Windows systems. It has forked it in 2007 in order to provide support for 64 bits and new APIs.

  5. Dec 27, 2000 · MinGW is a compiler system based on the GNU GCC and Binutils projects that compiles and links code to be run on Win32 (Windows) systems. It provides C, C++ and Fortran compilers plus other related tools. 'MinGW' refers to the "Minimalist GNU for Windows" project.

  6. Nov 24, 2020 · MinGW is basically a port of gcc (and a few other compilers) to Windows, along with a few utilities you typically use alongside gcc.

  8. x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++.exe is a cross compiler, for compiling code that can run on a different type of computer than the one it was compiled on (based on the name, it looks like Windows 64-bit). g++ is the regular compiler, for compiling code to run on the same computer or same type of computer.
