Can the developers provide latest mingw-w64 installer?

Question

Opened this issue 2 years ago · 5 comments

I have downloaded the Mingw-w64 (10.0.0) zip. But can't figure out how to install MinGW-w64 from source.

Please can any body provide the steps of how to build mingw-w64 from source in a Windows system.

Or it will be better if the MinGW-w64 developer team would provide a installer for windows, containing the latest version of GCC (12.1.0)?

If you want latest mingw-w64 toolchain you can use https://www.msys2.org/ also.

I am not familiar with that setup. I do not use vscode.

@Biswa96 not even with command line? gdb11.2 ignores breakpoint

I am using mingw-w64-gdb 12.1 in msys2 environment and breakpoint is working fine.
