Presentation on MinGw Compiler. This compiler's continuing goal of minimizing extra DLLs, winpthreads has been compiled statically. https://techbyavnish.blogspot.com/

1. MinGW Compiler
Prepared by : Avnish Patel

2. What is MinGW Compiler?
MinGW is Minimalist GNU for Windows.
formerly mingw32, is a free and open source development
environment for native Microsoft Windows applications
It consists of command-line tools only .
If you want a visual IDE (text editor, compiler interface , visual
debugger), Code Blocks integrates with.
It was developed by Colin Peters.

3. Basic Information
Original Author --> Colin Peters
Developer --> MinGW Project
Initial release --> 1 July 1998
Latest version --> 4.8.2
Written in --> C, C++
Operating system --> Microsoft Windows
License Public domain --> GNU General Public License
Website --> mingw.org

4. Programming language support
MinGW support C, C++ , Objective C, Objective-C++, Fortran ,Ada,
java and pascal.
It can create 32-bit OR 64-bit binaries, for any version of
Windows since Windows 98.

5. How MinGW work ?
MinGW links by default to the Windows OS component library
MSVCRT, which is the c library .
MSVCRT : Microsoft Visual C/C++ Runtime Library.
It includes a port of the GCC, GNU binutils for Windows
(assembler, linker, archive manager), a set of freely distributable
Windows specific header files and import static libraries which
enable the use of the Windows API, a Windows native build of
the GNU debugger, and miscellaneous utilities.

6. (Continue)
This compiler's continuing goal of minimizing extra DLLs,
winpthreads has been compiled statically.
It will be statically linked with every program you compile,
mechanism used in libgcc and libstdc++ to allow EXEs and DLLs to
share state for handling exceptions.
MinGW supports dynamic libraries named according to the .lib
and .dll conventions, as well as static libraries following the
lib<name>.a naming convention common on Unix and Unix-like
systems also.

7. How to install ?

12. How to execute ?
Prg 1 - ddu.c file

13. Execution of ddu.c

14. Prg 2 - sum.c

15. Execution of sum.c

16. Advantages
Compiler perform Link-Time Optimization.
By default, it will continue to create executable and DLLs
that use the static libraries and do not require you to
redistribute further DLLs.

17. Disadvantages
MinGW does not provide POSIX runtime environment for
POSIX application development on Windows.
