Programming with MinGW and MSYS
Lets say you’re a programmer who enjoys the GNU environment, and you’ve become pretty good friends with gcc and g++. However, for one reason or another, you need to write a program in C++ on your Windows box. You find yourself uninterested in using Microsoft’s compiler, and you wish you could just have gcc and g++ back. The good news is you can have them both, and more, with MinGW and MSYS! This tutorial will guide you through installing these tools.
