   Jun 25, 2023 · There are two PATH settings, system-wide and per-user; use the former as it has priority over the latter. How do I choose the environment? UCRT64 should be a good default for most purposes. Otherwise the choice depends on: Preferred compiled: GCC or Clang (some provide both).

   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 basically a port of gcc (and a few other compilers) to Windows, along with a few utilities you typically use alongside gcc. It is focused on being an open replacement for compiling software for Windows. Included, for example, are the headers needed to use the Win32 API.

   Nov 11, 2021 · MinGW is closer to Win32 than CygWin/gcc, because it supports almost all Win32 APIs, and the programs it connects to can run without any third-party libraries. And gcc is the compiler that is installed on CygWin.

   While there also exists a Clang package in the MINGW environments, that one still uses the GNU linker and the GNU C++ library. In some cases Clang is used to build packages as well there, in case upstream prefers Clang over GCC for example.

   Aug 2, 2020 · The way that MSys2 uses different paths for the tools it provides is the reason why it behaves this way. MinGW64 looks through the “/mingw64/bin” directory before “/usr/bin“, so it finds “gcc” and “python” there, even if there is also a 32-bit “gcc” or MSys2 “python” available.

   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

   Is there a difference between MinGW and MSYS2?

   • No, there's no particular difference, and you should be able to use your existing compiler if you add it to PATH (directly from the shell, since I think by default it doesn't respect PATH from Windows settings). But why would you? MSYS2 is one of the best MinGW distributions, consistently having an up-to-date GCC version and such.

   What is the difference between mingw-64 and Cygwin?

   • Mingw-64 is just a more recent and better supported version of Mingw that also supports Windows 64 bit. Cygwin, while also including Mingw (?) to support GCC on Windows, provides a POSIX compatibility layer through a DLL that all programs are linked to by default.

   Does MSYS2 have a MinGW-w64 toolchain?

   • MSYS2 provides two mingw-w64 toolchains actually: you get a choice of an i686 (32-bit) toolchain which makes native Windows binaries that can run on any Windows computer, or an x86_64 (64-bit) toolchain that makes native Windows binaries that only work on 64-bit Windows. You can install both of these at the same time.
