Mingw


I'm trying to find an offline installer for MinGW-w64. I have downloaded mingw-w64-v6.0.0.zip from sourceforge, but it did not contain an installer. I am running Matlab 2018b on a standalone computer. MinGW - The original project. MinGW-Builds In, 'Toolchains targeting Win32 or Win64,' 'Personal Builds,' 'mingw-builds,' Version, Threading Model, Exception Model, Revision. Mingw-w64 - The parent project of MinGW-Builds, includes much more than is necessary - MinGW-Builds will usually suffice instead of the full works. Install MinGW MinGW means Min imalist G NU for W indows: GNU is a source of open source programming tools (GNU stands for GNU is Not Unix). In this handout you will download the files needed by GNU C; in the next you will download a version of Eclipse that is already set up to use MinGW. Can I install the minGW addon offline?

Overview

Mingw W64 Offline Installer

A compiler toolchain is what Code::Blocks uses to turn the code you type into it into numbers that the computer understands. As a compiler toolchain is a very complex undertaking it is not part of Code::Blocks itself but rather is a separate project that Code::Blocks then uses. The kind of compiler toolchains talked about on this page are 'MinGW' toolchains. Which means 'Minimalist GNU for Windows.' And 'GNU' expands to 'GNU's Not Unix.' More information about the GNU project can be found on the GNU Home Page.

For most MinGW-based compiler toolchains, having your toolchain in your PATH is important because it means that during development the toolchain libraries will be accessible by default to your programs as you develop them and also makes it easier to use utilities such as CMake as they will be able to find your compiler toolchain. When you actually distribute your programs to other computers then you will copy the needed .dll files out of your toolchain directory and include them as part of your installer. On your machine they are in your PATH so you always have them, on your users computers they won't have the compiler toolchain so there you provide the .dll files with your program.

TDM-GCC

TDM-GCC is the toolchain that will be used as the example for this guide. TDM-GCC statically links the required toolchain libraries into your final executable. Which means that when you create your installer for your final program there are less files to include - they are built into your executable itself. The Code::Blocks team recommends TDM-GCC.

Installation

Download the on-demand installer and run it.

Go through the installation pages, the red arrows are all the default options which we will be keeping and the last blue arrow is to indicate that you will be putting TDM-GCC into your system's PATH.

Once you are ready, click Install to proceed.

Code::Blocks Configuration

Go to your Compiler settings:

Mingw w64 offline installer download

And then under the 'Toolchain executables' tab (red arrow), click on the ellipsis ('...', blue arrow) and choose the root directory where you installed TDM-GCC 32-bit. Once you have that directory chosen, in the 'Program Files' sub-tab (green arrow) area fill out the fields as shown. If you aren't using the TDM-GCC toolchain there might be minor variation in the executable names. If you choose the blue arrow ellipsis first then for each ellipsis you click on under 'Program Files' you will already be in your TDM-GCC bin directory where the actual programs are.

Now, go to your Debugger settings:

Choose your default debugger (red arrow), and then fill in the Executable path for it as shown for TDM-GCC 32-bit (blue arrow).

Summary

Mingw W64 Offline Installer

You now have a Code::Blocks environment that is configured to use TDM-GCC 32-bit properly. Using this guide as a template you can easily set up alternative compiler toolchains no matter the source - just follow the same basic procedure.

Alternative MinGW Compiler Toolchains

MinGW - The original project.

MinGW-Builds ➡ In, 'Toolchains targeting Win32 or Win64,' ➡ 'Personal Builds,' ➡ 'mingw-builds,' ➡ Version, ➡ Threading Model, ➡ Exception Model, ➡ Revision.

Mingw-w64 - The parent project of MinGW-Builds, includes much more than is necessary - MinGW-Builds will usually suffice instead of the full works.

MinGW Equation - A package that also provides OpenMP.

Development Tools

Normally you should not need many of these tools. ZIP is convenient, especially when: building Code::Blocks itself, but other than that these tools only serve specialized purposes.

MSYS2 is a collection of tools and libraries providing you with aneasy-to-use environment for building, installing and running native Windowssoftware.

It consists of a command line terminal calledmintty, bash, version control systems like git andsubversion, tools like tar and awk and even build systems like autotools, allbased on a modified version of Cygwin. Despite some ofthese central parts being based on Cygwin, the main focus of MSYS2 is to providea build environment for native Windows software and the Cygwin-using parts arekept at a minimum. MSYS2 provides up-to-date native builds for GCC, mingw-w64,CPython, CMake, Meson, OpenSSL, FFmpeg, Rust, Ruby, just to name a few.

To provide easy installation of packages and a way to keep them updated itfeatures a package management system calledPacman, which should be familiarto Arch Linux users. It brings many powerful features such as dependencyresolution and simple complete system upgrades, as well as straight-forward andreproducible package building. Our package repository contains more than 2000pre-built packages ready to install.

For more details see 'What is MSYS2?' which alsocompares MSYS2 to other software distributions and development environments likeCygwin,WSL,Chocolatey, Scoop, ... and 'WhoIs Using MSYS2?' to see which projects are usingMSYS2 and what for.

Installation

  1. Download the installer:

    SHA256 checksum: 274a11559ede8b892da63dacab30dcf968b811fe21caccc9a1fb9137a5e56062

  2. Run the installer. MSYS2 requires 64 bit Windows 7 or newer.

  3. Click 'Next'

  4. Enter Installation Folder (ASCII, no accents, spaces nor symlinks, short path)

  5. Tick Run MSYS2 now

  6. Update the package database and core system packages with:

  7. If needed, close MSYS2, run it again from Start menu. Update the rest with:

  8. Now Pacman is fully committed to the Windows cause :)

  9. Take look at Detailed MSYS2 install guide for troubleshooting and additional details on how to keep your MSYS2 up-to-date.
