MinGW Distribution - May 2012

MinGW is a port of GCC - GNU Compiler Collection to Microsoft Windows.

This distribution contains a minimum set of tools to compile C or C++ applications and some interesting libraries like Boost Libraries, OpenSSL and zlib. See below for a complete list.

This distribution is based on the MinGW Distro from Stephan T. Lavavej with the following modifications: MinGW sed removed, and Gnu GDB debugger and ming32-make included.

Only static libraries are included.

MinGW version of sed has problems and cannot be used. If you need a sed (for example for running Autoconf scripts) use the one from MSYS: MSYS sed
