But you need to get your hands on a MacOSX SDK too.

After several weeks pulling my hair, I figured it might be a good thing to

(see above) and Clang (see
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/Toolchains%20targetting%20Win32/Personal%20Builds/rubenvb/clang-3.1-release/for
more details, read carefully). Clang may not be usable for what you
are
doing, as it misses certain features required for normal Windows code (like
dllexporting classes). It works fine in cases not using that though, but
only for 32-bit Windows.

functions may not behave like you would expect. See MSDN in Visual C++ 2003

using fancy C++11 library features (which include but are not limited to
<thread>, std::to_string, and <regex>) you will find GCC's libstdc++
unfortunately lacking. Everything else is usually implemented better than
on MSVC though, including <tuple>.
