Tutorial: GNU Compiler Collection Setup

[Jackdaw]

NOTE: Many of the sites linked within the tutorial, have not been fully checked or validated for what contents they offer, and possibly in the future they may also be broken. Anyone using the links should remain vigilant to protect themselves from malicious software and sites through the use of internet security software and good judgement by not falling prey to sites that require the specific entry of personal information. The accuracy of the descriptions may also not be correct, and should be in many cases considered a work-in-progress. If they don't appear to be what is advertised, or look suspicious. Then PM an administrator so they can be removed, or updated with the correct information.
So use these links and any associated software from these sites at your own risk!

This is the first in a number of tutorials on setting up development environments for C/C++ compiler.

The tutorial covers the basics of installing GCC/MinGW and the types of build systems and code editors that can be used.

You can find the tutorial on github.

At some point I will add tutorials on how to set up some of of these build systems and code editors. If anyone is interested in a particular build system and code editor, I'll start with that.

I found a list of MinGW-w64 builds on Github:

I'm only familiar with the Equation.com distro, though
