   Then, MinGW refers to a Minimalist GNU on Windows acronym. It is a freely available and freely distributable Windows specific header files and import libraries using the GNU toolset collection, allows you to generate native Windows programs on GNU / Linux and Windows platforms without the need for third-party C runtime library.
