MinGW - Minimalist GNU for Windows

This folder contains files that were contributed either internal or external but are currently not maintained and no plans by the maintainers to maintain them. You must download the files in this directory and extract them to the appropriate directories manually. It is therefore recommended that you do not use these files but they are provided 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.
