All I want to do is install the 64 bit version of MinGW along with compilers and other development utilities. Google sent me to Sourceforge - https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/. I clicked the download button and got the file - mingw-w64-v7.0.0.zip
. I couldn't find any instructions at sourceforge, so I unzipped the file, which created a mingw-w64-v7.0.0
directory. Still no instructions. I found some instructions at https://www.eclipse.org/4diac/documentation/html/installation/minGW.html. It says to use the install wizard, which I cannot find. Elsewhere I have seen that I should use mingw-w64-install.exe
. Another cite said to use a batch file setup.bat
. There are no .bat
or .exe
files anywhere within mingw-w64-v7.0.0
. There is a configure
shell script with more than 4,000 lines, but how am I going to run it? Either I'm stupid or someone has made this more difficult than it should be. The download page said it was updated 3 days ago. Is the installer missing?
Can someone tell me how to install mingw64?
