MinGW-w64 - for 32 and 64 bit Windows

I installed it as part of an Online Course. The MinGW is all here but without the installer, made me have a hard time to get the complier running on my machine. I fixed it by installing a GCC+mingw64 zip file from winlibs Note that I installed the "GCC 12.2.0 + LLVM/Clang/LLD/LLDB 16.0.0 + MinGW-w64 10.0.0 (UCRT) - release 5" because it was the latest. I downloaded the zip file that had LLVM/Clang/LLD/LLDB and extracted it. After that, I simply added the bin folder to path and DONE. You now have the g++ working on the command line.

MinGW-W64-install.exe didn't work! ---- So, I downloaded ---- MinGW-W64 GCC-8.1.0 ---- i686-posix-sjlj ---- ---- one file was downloaded ---- i686-8.1.0-release-posix-sjlj-rt_v6-rev0.7z ---- 45.9 MB ---- ---- unzip the file on Desktop ---- and copy it to D: ---- D:\mingw32\bin ---- ---- using Windows PowerShell ---- ---- PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> $envPath = [System.Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable("Path", "Machine") ---- PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> $envPath += ";D:\mingw32\bin" ---- PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> [System.Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("Path", $envPath, "Machine") ---- PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> cd D:\test2 ---- PS D:\test2> g++ -g hello.cpp -o hello.exe ---- PS D:\test2> ./hello.exe ---- Hello! ---- PS D:\test2> ---- g++ works all right! ---- ---- hello.cpp ---- #include <iostream> ---- int main() ---- { ---- std::cout << "Hello!" << std::endl; ---- } ----

auto-installer; follow all instructions on link page to properly install MinGW-w64 at: msys2(dot)org

For people having issues with the installer, one workaround that I had success with was updating the URL with the version that I wanted. For example: If I wanted the following setup settings: 1) Version 7.2.0 2) Architecture i686 3) Threads posix 4) Exception dwarf 5) Build revision 1 Then it'd give me the i686-7.2.0-posix-dwarf-rt_v5-rev1. I take a working url under "Files" on sourceforge, such as (MinGW-W64 GCC-8.1.0). And change it so it matches with i686-7.2.0-posix-dwarf-rt_v5-rev1.

Previously the link is working fine.. but From few days, it is corrupted or something happened to the file.. because it is showing "The file has been downloaded incorrectly" error.. please solve the issue
