Description

MinGW-w64 (Minimalist GNU for Windows) is a free and open source software development environment for creating Windows applications. It is a Windows port of the popular GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) and GNU Binutils. MinGW-w64 allows developers to create native Windows applications that do not depend on any external libraries. It supports both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows. MinGW-w64 includes a C/C++ compiler, linker, assembler, resource compiler, and other tools needed to build Windows applications. It supports a wide range of development languages including C, C++, Fortran, Objective-C, Ada, and D. It also includes Windows API headers and libraries, providing access to the Windows API from C and C++. MinGW-w64 can be used to create both console and graphical user interface (GUI) applications. It supports both native Windows and Microsoft .NET applications, and can also be used to create Windows Installer packages. MinGW-w64 is an excellent choice for developing cross-platform applications, as it can produce binaries that run on both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows.
