Comment:
The problem was with the code, not the compiler. In Ubuntu, variables are
initialized to 0, whereas in windows MinGW does not do this. This led to the
false conclusion that compiler was at fault.

Comment:
Yep. Failure to initialize the iterator variable, in a for loop, is a user
error ... not a compiler bug. Even if Ubuntu's compiler has (apparently)
initialized it suitably, in this case, that's not a feature you should rely on
... ever. References to uninitialized variables always induce undefined
behaviour, which is always a programming error.
I guess you resolved this by yourself, so I'm closing the ticket.

Comment:
Help will always be appreciated, but do please note:–
1. mingw-w64, tdm-mingw, and msys2 are all independent forks — we do not
support them, (and indeed, the first two use our registered trademark
without permission, and thus illegally).
2. While you do appear to have a fair bit of experience, and would likely be
an asset to the project, we would really like you to indicate what aspects
of MinGW you would be most interested in working on — your "book" really is
a bit too vague.

Ticket details:
I have patched together my copy of MinGW based on a very old install and a lot
of manual downloading (about 3 weeks ago), I know there were a lot of broken
links. My copy works great, I've compiled a ton of libraries into mine. I've
also pulled MSYS2, and setup automounts to MinGW, TDM-MinGW, and MinGW-64. I've
been in IT for over 20 years and I think this project is amazing or at least
can be once again. MinGW-64, and MSYS2 are cool as well, but pacman, although
it works nice if you KNOW the name of the package you want is a pain. i am/was/
have been a Windows programmer for many years, also a Unix admin for several
years, and Windows admin as well. So I have skills across the board, but
recently I've been retraining myself to be all about MinGW as it offers me an
equal development environment between my linux and windows systems. I've been
slowly moving over to Linux as I can't stand Microsoft and I'm so tired of
giving up my whole machine for what Microsoft tools can do when I can do them
for a fraction of the overhead under MinGW. Sorry about the book, but I'm not
sure if/and what kind of help you all need on this so I thought I'd toss in a
little summary. I'm interested in helping on the project. Let me know. my email
address is [email protected]

Comment:
If I had gone into detail it would have truly been a book and yes, I'm aware
they are independent forks, I looked at them as part of my process getting
things working. TDM has been untouched for years, but still has some relevance.
It includes the python dll, and a newer version of GCC than mingw32. msys2 I
think pacman draws a specific Linux crowd, but why not just use Linux if you
don't care about a little bit of a GUI edge. I came to you because mingw32 is
the original and has a Windows GUI included. I'm just guessing as I don't even
know if the code is out there for the GUI, but I'd imagine it's using wxWidgets
which I also have compiled on my machine. My first setup was somewhat broken
because I didn't include pkg-config (which I believe should be build in.)
Instructions relating to using ./configure --prefix=/mingw32 when using
configure are also obscured. So my current setup... first I setup pkg_config,
then each package was compiled using the above. I can code in C and a bunch of
other languages including .NET/Mono, what I don't know I can learn. I've
scripted in Korn, Bourne and C Shells in the past. I have an unlimited supply
of VirtualBox PC's to install and re-install on. Like I think I mentioned, on
my network, I have Windows 2000, XP, 7 as well as Debian, Anti-X and Ubuntu
Linux. (yes, all Debian flavors) If I were to pick a starting place for
updating the project, I would start with the broken links, then the
documentation, and yes, advertising that this version works on XP can't be a
bad thing. Make pkg_config a part of the base install and go from there. There
is a huge difference between Windows developers and Linux developers. Windows
developers expect to install the tools and be up and running where Linux
developers are used to 'building' the development environment. Where I fit... I
left it vague so that I could fall in place where needed. Let me know what your
priorities are and I'm sure I can fit somewhere in there.

Reply To ayperor >TDM has been untouched for years, but still has some

Newer than GCC-8.2.0? Really? It looks, to me, like it hasn't been touched
since 2015, and it offers no better than GCC-5.1.0. We've offered GCC-6.3.0,
GCC-7.3.0, and most recently GCC-8.2.0, since then.
Granted, we don't publish a python DLL, (or anything python related), but
that's because the python folks, themselves, despite their own free software
roots, eschew free software tools, and insist on using Microsoft's non-free
MSVC to build their windows ports, and none of us care to devote time to
creating a competing MinGW build. FWIW, I haven't used windows myself, for
around five years now; when I did, I used the windows port of mercurial, from
the mercurial project itself, and that also shipped with a python DLL. I never
had any problem with mixing MinGW tools with such upstream products, even
though they themselves weren't built with MinGW.

Reply To ayperor
msys2 I think pacman draws a specific Linux crowd, but why not just use
Linux if you don't care about a little bit of a GUI edge.
IMO, msys2 goes way beyond the original "minimalist" goals of our original MSYS
— so much so that it has effectively become cygwin by another name! I never
much liked cygwin either, and yes, I entirely agree on the "why not just use
Linux?" question, which is why I use self-built cross-compiler tools, on LMDE,
to build all of my own MinGW contributions.
I came to you because mingw32 is the original and has a Windows GUI
included.
I assume that you mean the GUI incarnation of mingw-get?
I'm just guessing as I don't even know if the code is out there for the
GUI, ...
It's in our git repository.
but I'd imagine it's using wxWidgets ...
Nope. We looked at wx-widgets; it's good, but it's way too heavy for what we
wanted mingw-get to be.
