Adding gdb to MinGW
In a command prompt I browsed to C:\MinGW\bin and ran: mingw-get.exe install gdb That fixed it for me. Not sure if it matters but I have C:\MinGW\bin in my path (guess I probably didn’t need to browse to C:\MinGW\bin).

Newer Mingw versions support -municode linker option switching to alternate startup code allowing to use wWinMain instead of WinMain (or wmain instead of main). Add it to your command line, linker options in IDE or makefile. g++ other_options_and_arguments -municode Older versions do not support this option. One thing to note is that Visual C++ supports … Read more
The Using Rust on Windows page you linked to dates from before rustup replaced the installer as the default option to install Rust. Installers are still available, but you should use rustup if possible, because it makes it easy to update and to use multiple toolchains at once (e.g. stable, beta and nightly). If you … Read more
These follow gcc naming conventions. c++.exe is a traditional name for the system c++ compiler g++.exe and gcc.exe are the names for the gcc compilers that compile for the “current system” mingw32-* versions are the names for the compilers that cross-compile to the “mingw” target. In this case this is the same as the system … Read more
NULL is usually defined in stddef.h. This file is also usually included with stdlib.h and stdio.h. And, you could always do this: #ifndef NULL #define NULL ((void *) 0) #endif
Whenever I’ve done this, I just #include <windows.h> and start coding. MinGW comes with a windows.h file so you don’t need to do anything extra.
You’ll have to install a 32bit JVM and you will be able to run your code. If you are going to distribute your application, you will want to build both 32bit and 64bit versions of your DLL. Then use the following technique to have the proper DLL loaded regardless of your customers arch. Append either … Read more
It indicates it couldn’t find gcc.exe. I have a path environment variable set to where MinGW is installed Maybe you haven’t set the path correctly? echo %path% shows the path to gcc.exe? Otherwise, compilation is similar to Unix: gcc filename.c -o filename
The link commandline argument -static-libgcc should work. Another variant you could try is plain -static. If you don’t want to worry about this, and still want to redistribute your binary, just copy the relevant dll from MinGW’s bin directory and place it alongside your executable. This is common practice and works as advertised.
I had this same problem, but fixed it like this: I ran the MinGW Installation Manager (e.g. C:\MinGW\libexec\mingw-get\guimain.exe). I navigated to All Packages -> MinGW -> MinGW Libraries. I checked the boxes next to mingw32-libz (dev & dll). I went to Installation -> Apply Changes. Now everything worked properly.
