Is there a tool to update the Mingw libraries? Most importantly the compiler itself (g++, gcc) and all related to the toolchain? (without having to reinstall Mingw, because usually since it was first installed, many packages have been added afterwards). Under Msys2 one can do pacman -Suyy but that does not update anything on the Mingw64 folder

I noticed there is a webpage to download a bunch of packages separately. There are no process nor readme however. Do one just unzip and dump the content over previous folder? How to make sure it works, say for Windows 10? There are no instruction. It would be simpler to have a tool (similar to the installer) to detect and allow update of already installed packages

Several people provide such tools. Have you tried any of those?
