MinGW - Minimalist GNU for Windows

The installer not download the files of MinGW yet. I Tried 3 times (3 weeks), but the problem persist!

Hi! Are, this project is dead? Official mingw.org is inaccessible right now.

The only easy and intuitive to install GNU compiler collection for Windows

It gets the job done for university projects

This is out of date, and the tutorials available on the internet are so conflicting. Manually renaming files, an installation for windows where the messages ask us to enter a windows folder using the Unix slash (/), then the folder is not found even though it exists, a total mess. Broken links in perhaps official pages, total confusion and installation nightmare, perhaps due to a not well maintained project. I'm doing all this cause I want to have the GMP libraries on my computer, but oh boy, program installations are supposed to be fully automated and simple.

It gets the job done but they took the minimalism a little bit too serious.

I'm struggling to uninstall the "MinGW Installer" from Windows 10. The app is not listed in apps and features as well I cannot find any uninstall.exe in the installation folder. I could not find this information anywhere or any other contact possibilities besides this. Please provide support!

Little intuitive, and entangling. To obtain an earlier version you have to do it very manually.

Don't you think in 2019 it's time to setup your f***ing environment variables during setup instead of having the end user do it manually, you usless and stupid pieces of s***?

Very good for people who needs to use Linux's tools in Windows. It helps me soo much...

I agree, some files are outdated, especially gcc. But in most cases it is not a problem. MinGW brings you the unique possibility to use bash scripts natively in Windows. Also gcc alows you to build native Windows apps in the well known unix environment. Also I do often use find command inside MinGW terminal to search Windows files on the whole disk in a UNIX manner.

I don't recommend using it. This is using very outdated files. Uses version 6xx GNU compiler and the latest is 8xx. It only installs 32bit , not 64bit :( It ran G++ OK on my Win7 Pro but would not compile newer software libraries.

"make" is outdated. scripting failed. process_begin: CreateProcess(NULL, printf " GENHDR include/libopencm3/lm3s/irq.json\n;", ...) failed.

It takes a while to learn how to install the packages.

SourceForge blocks mingw-get if running from a Windows XP environment. So from this OS is unusable.

Ok, so... The installer for the mingw manager isn't working right. It's having some trouble downloading from the sourceforge servers, there's something wrong with either the sourceforge servers or the files uploaded there. Actual review: It's a pretty good compiler, I use it because my college uses it. SO yeah. It's consistent and reliable. If you install it correctly. But sometimes that's not a decision you get to make.

It won't download files from installer! Fails at downloading and I've tried over 5 possible solutions, hardest thing to install I've ever seen!

Nice.

Nice.

الوووو

Awesome.

I am using MinGW as a build environment for certain programs. So far this one is the best for compiling 32-bit binaries in Windows.

I think many of the 1 star ratings ("Unusable!!!") are just dense people. This has worked for me for years without any problems at all. Does exactly what it's supposed to.
