Using the MinGW installer

This is an installer application which will upon request download the actual packages needed. Note that the installer is currently still a little flakey sometimes.

gcc 3.4.2 manual install

Installing MinGW can be quite intimidating the first time because it is not obvious what you have to do. Luckily, it is actually pretty simple.
To do a manual install, simply download the required files and extract them all into the same directory. For simplicity, I recommend C:\MinGW.

Base system with C++

Optionally:

gdb debugger

Objective-C

Native Java (experimental)

Fortran-77

Ada


gcc 3.4.4 manual install

Some people have reported various problems with gcc version 3.4.4, so it may be worth a consideration to use the 3.4.2 version until a build from the 4.0 branch is available.
Personally, I have not had any kind of problem with 3.4.4.
