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++. These are a few steps that we have to perform to successfully install MinGW on our device.
Step 2: Double click and open the exe MinGW file and click install. It will automatically start downloading all the setups for the MinGW. Step 3: After all of the setup click Continue. Now the MinGW installation manager will pop up.

Step 5: In the Installation, option-click Apply changes. And then select Apply. It will start downloading all the files. It will take 5-6 minutes. After finishing click on Close.
You should install it either into C:\MinGW or C:\MinGW\pdcurses. You want the libraries and h files to install into /mingw/lib/ and /mingw/include/You will probably need to do ln -s /mingw/include/libpdcurses.a /mingw/include/libcurses.a.
Get the latest version of Mingw-w64 via MSYS2, which provides up-to-date native builds of GCC, Mingw-w64, and other helpful C++ tools and libraries. You can download the latest installer from the MSYS2 page or use this link to the installer.
Install the Mingw-w64 toolchain (pacman -S --needed base-devel mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain). Run the pacman command in a MSYS2 terminal. Accept the default to install all the members in the toolchain group.
Remember, the C++ extension uses the C++ compiler you have installed on your machine to build your program. Make sure you have a C++ compiler installed before attempting to run and debug helloworld.cpp in VS Code.
If you have Visual Studio or WSL installed, you may need to change compilerPath to match the preferred compiler for your project. For example, if you installed Mingw-w64 version 8.1.0 using the i686 architecture, Win32 threading, and sjlj exception handling install options, the path would look like this: C:\Program Files (x86)\mingw-w64\i686-8.1.0-win32-sjlj-rt_v6-rev0\mingw64\bin\g++.exe.
You must follow the steps on the MSYS2 website and use the MSYS CLI to install Mingw-w64, which contains those tools. You will also need to install the full Mingw-w64 toolchain (pacman -S --needed base-devel mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain) to get the gdb debugger.
Mingw-w64 is an advancement of the original mingw.org project, created tosupport the GCC compiler on Windows systems. It has forked it in 2007 in orderto provide support for 64 bits and new APIs. It has since then gained widespreaduse and distribution.
The heart of the Mingw-w64 project is headers and support libraries torun the output of GCC on Windows. Since Mingw-w64 is neither the home ofGCC nor of binutils, several sets of installation packages which combinethem are available.
Downloads are archive files (.zip or .7z). No installation is required,just extract the archive and start using the programs in mingw32\bin or mingw64\bin.This allows for a relocatable compiler suite and allows having multiple versions on the same system.
It consists of a command line terminal calledmintty, bash, version control systems like git andsubversion, tools like tar and awk and even build systems like autotools, allbased on a modified version of Cygwin. Despite some ofthese central parts being based on Cygwin, the main focus of MSYS2 is to providea build environment for native Windows software and the Cygwin-using parts arekept at a minimum. MSYS2 provides up-to-date native builds for GCC, mingw-w64,CPython, CMake, Meson, OpenSSL, FFmpeg, Rust, Ruby, just to name a few.
To provide easy installation of packages and a way to keep them updated itfeatures a package management system calledPacman, which should be familiarto Arch Linux users. It brings many powerful features such as dependencyresolution and simple complete system upgrades, as well as straight-forward andreproducible package building. Our package repository contains more than 2600pre-built packages ready to install.
This tutorial no longer works!!This project has stoppedthis is the message file that gets downloaded-This folder contains files that were contributed either internal orexternal but are currently not maintained and no plans by themaintainers to maintain them. You must download the files in thisdirectory and extract them to the appropriate directories manually. Itis therefore recommended that you do not use these files but they areprovided for historical reasons.
If you wish to take a package and maintain it then please use mingw-users@lists.sourceforge.net to convey that fact and the maintainers will be in touch with you. Contributed packages must conform to MinGW package standards by using mgwport to do the packaging.
Download of MinGW Installation Manager (mingw-get) MinGW-Get Version 0.6.3-pre-20170905-1 (Beta) Windows Execute File(mingw-get-setup.exe: 93,184 bytes) will begin shortly. If not so, click mingw-get-setup.exe.
I am trying to build some open source library. I need a package management system to easily download the dependencies. At first I am using MinGW and MSYS. But the included packages are limited. Someone told me to use Mingw-w64 and MSYS2.
My current understanding is, in the time of MinGW and MSYS, MSYS is just a nice addon to MinGW, while in Mingw-w64 + MSYS2, MSYS2 is stand-alone and Mingw-w64 is just a set of libraries it can work with. Just like Cygwin can download many different packages.
Unfortunately, the MinGW-w64 installer you used sometimes has this issue. I myself am not sure about why this happens (I think it has something to do with Sourceforge URL redirection or whatever that the installer currently can't handle properly enough).
Make sure any compilers and libraries you install have this package prefix (mingw-w64-x86_64- for 64-bit or mingw-w64-i686- for 32-bit). Only use unprefixed packages for misc command-line utilities (such as grep, sed, make, etc), unless you know what you're doing.
You can now also get the stand-alone personal build of MinGW-w64 from which doesn't require any installation; just extract and its ready to use. This allow having multiple toolchains on the same system (e.g., one for Windows 32-bit and another for Windows 64-bit).
I am trying to install mingw-w64 onto Windows. However I receive an error, "the file has been downloaded incorrectly". Redownloading the setup file again from sourceforge does not fix the problem. Is there an alternative way to install it or am I doing something wrong?
Take a look at it, the installer basically just download and unzip the build from one of these urls within repository.txt. Choose the url you want and download/upzip it manually. (In my case, I use 8.1.0x86_64posixsehrev0 setup)
The problem is with your internet connection and/or ISP. I'm not great at networking so I'll let others be more specific. I tried installing/downloading it using my mobile's data as wifi hotspot and it worked. Hope it helps
Goto Click "Download the binary release". Select your operating platform (e.g., Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7). Download the installer with GCC Compiler, e.g., codeblocks-13.12mingw-setup.exe (98 MB) (which includes MinGW's GNU GCC compiler and GNU GDB debugger).
I resolved by installing the latast MinGW (gcc 4.8.1, gdb 7.6.1) separately (See "How to install MinGW"), and configured the compiler's and debugger's path to the installed MinGW as in the above step.
If you're a hacker running Windows, you don't need a proprietary application to compile code. With the Minimalist GNU for Windows (MinGW) project, you can download and install the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) along with several other essential GNU components to enable GNU Autotools on your Windows computer.
The easiest way to install MinGW is through mingw-get, a graphical user interface (GUI) application that helps you select which components to install and keep them up to date. To run it, download mingw-get-setup.exe from the project's host. Install it as you would any other EXE file by clicking through the installation wizard to completion.
To install GCC, click the GCC and G++ package to mark GNU C and C++ compiler for installation. To complete the process, select Apply Changes from the Installation menu in the top-left corner of the mingw-get window.
To build software on Windows, you can use a large variety of software. However, some tools are more popular than others. Here, I provide instructions to install three popular building tools on Windows:
When installing libraries like the Intel (c) TBB, you will need to know what is the version of your Visual C++ installation in order to correctly link the pre-built libraries. Indeed, such libraries are sometimes built for different versions of the Microsoft C/C++ compiler, each one of them located in a different folder (this is the case for the Intel (c) TBB at least). When you run cl.exe without any options, you will see something like this:
Remark: if some dll files are not found during packages download process, they can be found here : contained in .tar.xz files that can be uncompressed. The missing dll files have to be copied in the bin sub directory of the installed MinGW directory.
Instructions for compiling the genotype_generator.f90 source file (Fortran 90 code called from Luberon2 module) using the gfortran executable stored in the bin sub directory from the MinGW installed directory (example: C:\MinGW\bin) are:
In C language, there are two ways to set up a compiler. The first one is installing the C/GCC compiler manually, and the second is installing Code::Blocks or any IDE(Integrated Development Environment) and within that, including the GCC compiler during installation.
After double-clicking on the setup file, MinGW Installation Manager Setup Tool will now open. It will show the information like version, name, etc. Click on the Install button and proceed to start the installation. 2ff7e9595c
