MSYS2 - GCC/MinGW on Windows (C/C++ Development)

[@margarethill801]

Excellent explanation!!!
In my case, cleared up a lot of confusion.
Also the segment on adding a NEW profile in the Windows Terminal was very helpful.

Thank you, great explanation!
Not just "Install this - the end".

[@TechWithIndy]

Thanks. Great video.

I have been using it for a while. It is very convenient. Also I succeed in compiling source that otherwise just won't compile in any other pipeline on win (sdl_gpu for example) with the MSYS2 system. It's so good.

[@edwardmacnab354]

the windows terminal add on thing is just another layer of complexity that is definitely a persistent trend these days .

[@AstonCrane]

This problem is just a nightmare for those who only want to use a c application and the author just DONT WANT TO GIVE THE COMPILED FILES.

[@constref1983]

Did I manage to help you out?

[@alcidesneto6415]

Thank you so much for uploading this video. Simply, direct, and well explained. However, after compiling my "hello_word.cpp" for test purposes, I have an error with "libstdc++6.dll when I try to run the .exe. Looks like Windows can not find this .dll. Could you help me?
EDIT: I just statically linked the C and C++ standard libraries: c++ helloWorld.cpp -static -o HelloWorld.exe

[@johannweber5185]

If you want to use the dlls, you can copy it in the same folder as the executable. Alteratively you can adapt the dll search path.

[@peterSobieraj]

When i compile hello world in mingw64 it links my exe with libstdc++-6.dll.
That is not part of windows.
It's fine if I use printf instead of cout and don't use any c++ features.
Can you show how to compile hello world step by step ?

[@johannweber5185]

It should work if you copy the dll in the same directory as the executable or otherwise add the path were the dll is to the library path.

[@peterSobieraj]

​@@johannweber5185 It may works on my computer.
But if I want to give my program to other user, then it become a problem.
It works if I already have project with multiple files and installer for it.
But if I make some screensaver or some simple project like this, I usually want to give user only 1 file.
Explaining non-technical user how to extract zip is suprisingly dificult.
Also I use to go for competitions where you have to provide single exe file with size less than 4KB or 64KB, depending on size category.

[@Hellgenio]
