Hi all, can anyone point me to an offline MINGW installer? I want to fiddle with Eclipse CDT to see how it is doing compared to CodeBlocks. Also offline question: Does Aptana support C++ programming? It is based on eclipse and is found here '>www.aptana.com
Ahsante sana [Thanks a lot]

Download of MinGW Installation Manager (mingw-get) MinGW-Get Version 0.6.3 (Beta) Windows Execute File (mingw-get-setup.exe: 93,184 bytes) will begin shortly. If not so, click mingw-get-setup.exe. #MinGW A portable version of MinGW prepared for OpenGL development. Copy the MinGW folder to the root of the drive which has a project you want to compile. For example if your project is in C: Users username Documents then the MinGW folder needs to be placed in C: MinGW. Create an GNU Makefile and call it Makefile.

I've never attempted to install it this way, but check out (scroll down to Manual Installation) '>http://www.mingw.org/wiki/HOWTO_Install_the_MinGW_GCC_Compiler_Suite

I mean, istaller that will need to download nothing from Net I cannot see such stuff in the link. am I missing something?
Apologies, I meant that you could go to the sourceforge page and download the .tar.gz files and then install them by hand using their instructions …

I've never attempted to install it this way, but check out (scroll down to Manual Installation) '>http://www.mingw.org/wiki/HOWTO_Install_the_MinGW_GCC_Compiler_Suite
1、 What is mingw-w64? The full name of MinGW is: minimalist GNU on windows. In fact, GCC, the classic open source c language compiler, is ported to the windows platform and contains the Win32 API, so the source code can be compiled into executable programs that can run in windows. In addition, you can also use some development tools under Linux platform that Windows does not have. In a word, MinGW is the Windows version of GCC.
The above is the introduction of MinGW. The difference between mingw-w64 and MinGW is that MinGW can only compile and generate 32-bit executable programs, while mingw-w64 can compile and generate 64 bit or 32-bit executable programs. Because of this, MinGW has been replaced by mingw-w64, and MinGW has already stopped updating. The built-in GCC has stagnated at version 4.8.1, while the built-in GCC of mingw-w64 has been updated to version 6.2.0.
2、 Why use mingw-w64? 1. Mingw-w64 is open source software, which can be used free of charge. 2. Mingw-w64 is maintained by an active open source community, so it will not be out of date. 3. Mingw-w64 supports the latest C language standard. 4. Mingw-w64 uses the C language runtime library of windows, so the compiled program does not need a third-party DLL, and can run directly under windows. 5. Those famous open-source ides only encapsulate the mingw-w64, making it have a friendly graphical interface and simplify the operation, but the internal core is still mingw-w64.
Mingw-w64 is a stable, reliable and continuously updated C / C + + compiler, which can save you a lot of trouble, don’t worry about not keeping up with the times, don’t worry about the compiler itself has bugs, and you can write programs at ease.
3、 What is mingw-w64 suitable for? For those familiar with mingw-w64, it can compile any C program. But for the average person, the mingw-w64 is too simple to have a graphical user interface. This makes people who are used to using the mouse feel very painful. Although there are some configurations that allow the mingw-w64 to have a graphical user interface, that process is cumbersome.
In addition, when compiling complex programs, you need to be able to write makefiles. Otherwise, you can only compile one file for one file. You can imagine how hard it will be. But for beginners of C language, mingw-w64 is the right compiler. At least the black command prompt interface has a programming atmosphere and feels cool.
At the beginning of learning C language, all the code is usually written in one file. As long as you enter a few simple commands, you can use mingw-w64 to compile into an executable file. Although compilers such as vs2015 can be compiled by clicking the mouse, they will automatically generate a large number of engineering files, leaving beginners confused. Mingw-w64 generates only one executable.
If we describe the compilers such as mingw-w64 and vs2015, then mingw-w64 is manual, while the compilers such as vs2015 are automatic. Therefore, the compilation process of mingw-w64 is more intuitive and easy to understand, and it is also more suitable for C language learning. All in all, for ordinary people, mingw-w64 is suitable for learning C language, and vs2015 is better for real work. Of course, if you are working under Linux, code:: blocks may be an option, but the biggest possibility is that you must be accustomed to using gcc to compile programs.
4、 Download and install mingw-w64
Before you start the installation, make sure you meet the following conditions. 1. Your computer is connected to the network. 2. Your computer hard disk has 500MB of free space. 3. You have plenty of time now. (due to your current network speed, the installation process may take more than 10 minutes or 1 hour.)
If you confirm that you meet the above conditions, then you can start to install the mingw-w64.
Note: the pictures in the tutorial are the original scale screenshots of the actual installation. If you can’t see the prompt in the pictures, you can enlarge the pictures without affecting the clarity. To view a large picture, just click on the picture and it will jump to the original size picture page. If the previous method fails, you can still enlarge the page function and enlarge the picture through the browser. For example, in Chrome browser, you can press and hold Ctrl key, and then scroll the mouse wheel to enlarge the page.
Selection criteria:
I686 for 32-bit system, x86 for 64 bit system Thread model: Win32: no C + + 11 multithreading feature, POSIX: support c + + 11 multithreading feature Exception handling model: recommended for 32-bit system: dwarf, recommended for 64 bit system: SEH Because the test environment is a 64 bit system, it is recommended to configure x86 ʄ POSIX sEH

1. Official download
If you can install it online, you’d better install it online.
If you can connect to the official website, you can choose to download it from the official website,
Download from here, select the file you want to download.
As shown in the figure, my choice here is x86 ʄ POSIX sEH
2、7-zip
The downloaded file is a 7z file. You can unzip it directly. If you don’t have a 7z unzip tool, you can download one.
https://www.7-zip.org/
Go to the official website to download. My system is 64 bit.
Install 7-Zip.
My one is installed on disk D, as shown in the figure:
3. Decompression
After the 7-Zip installation, unzip the files in the directory.
You can choose to copy the downloaded x86-8.1.0-release-posix-seh-rt-v6-rev0.7z file to the 7-Zip directory.
Use the command to extract.
7z x x86_64-8.1.0-release-posix-seh-rt_v6-rev0.7z -o./
Command to extract the file to the current directory.
After unzipping, you will get a mingw64 folder and copy it to the directory you want to install.
4. Environment variable
After decompression, you need to configure environment variables
Add your mingw64 / bin under path, for example: D: mingw64 bin
Use gcc-v in the CMD window to view.
The official installation version provides a bat to set path
echo off set PATH=d:Program Files (x86)mingw-w64i686-8.1.0-win32-dwarf-rt_v6-rev0mingw32bin;%PATH% rem echo %PATH% rem cd “d:Program Files (x86)mingw-w64i686-8.1.0-win32-dwarf-rt_v6-rev0mingw32bin” cd “C:” “C:Windowssystem32cmd.exe”
You can set your own path according to your needs. This article introduces it. I hope you can support developepaer in the future.
