Are you saying that MSYS2 provides a series of gcc compiler releases on Windows that are equivalent in compiler functionality to the official gcc releases for Linux ?



Edward, I had the same issue few weeks ago updating my MinGW-64 installation (Windows7/10 64 bit). I was informed in this mailing list that the maintainers of the MinGW-64 are no longer updating the binaries for the toolchain and I got the advice to look for a new GCC version in MSYS2.

It was a good advice, in few minutes I was able to have a fresh toolchain installed (GCC 8.3.0 64 bit) and I'm using it with Codeblocks without any issue.

First install MSYS2

msys2-x86_64-20180531.exe

then run in a MSYS-64 console

pacman -Syuu
pacman -Syuu ....till no updates
pacman -S base-devel
pacman -S ed
pacman -S python
pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain

I used the MSYS2 environment to recompile  all my additional libraries


         wxWidgets       3.1.2
         wxPdfDocument   0.9.6
         GMP        6.1.2
         Glpk        4.65
         MPFR        4.0.2
         MPC        1.1.0
         GSL        2.5
         JsonCpp        1.8.4
     Lapack        3.8.0
     Dislin        11.2.1
     Zlib        1.2.11
     XlsxWriter    20190409
         Lib PNG        1.6.36
     NLOPT        2.4.2
     ZINT        2.6.3
     Postgres    9.5.4
     National488    17.6.0
     Sqlite        3.27.2
     FFTW        3.3.8

in a smooth way.....and the I configured Codeblocks....

Believe me MSYS2 is the way to go! Which "equivalent in compiler functionality" do you need?

Are you saying I have to build a mingw-w64 toolchain for a particular version of gcc on Windows in an MSYS2 environment ?

Or are you saying that once MSYS2 is installed and updated, various gcc version toolchains for Windows already exist for my use ?
