The installation and use of Mingw-w64 under win10

0. Introduction

MinGW (Minimalist GNU for Windows), is a minimalist development environment suitable for Microsoft windows applications. MinGW provides a complete set of open source programming tools, suitable for the development of native MS-Windows applications, and does not rely on any third-party C runtime DLL. MinGW is mainly used by developers working on the MS-Windows platform, but it can also be used across platforms. MinGW includes:

1. A port of GCC, including C, C++, ADA and FORTRAN compilers;
2. GNU Binutils (such as: as, ld, ar, etc.);
3. A command line installer with optional GUI front end (mingw-get) for MinGW and MSYS deployment on MS-Windows;
4. A GUI first-time setup tool (mingw-get-setup) can help start and run mingw-get.

Mingw-w64 is an upgraded version of the original mingw.org project, which aims to support the GCC compiler on Windows systems. It branched in 2007 to provide support for 64-bit and new APIs. Since then, it has been widely used and distributed.
