• Trying to find the real MinGW

  Hi, I have been learning C++ recently using Visual Studio and Replit and wanted to switch to using a compiler with the windows command prompt. When I search up how to install MinGW there are multiple tutorials of indian people and other people who use totally different links and download pages in each video and I'm not sure which one to trust. Is msys2.org the correct website or is sourceforge or a different... Source: 12 months ago

• Getting “QT with MinGW support”?

  Apart from what other people already said, http://msys2.org/ is another easy-to-setup option. Source: over 1 year ago

• I Hate Windows!

  Also FYI: there’s a project called MSYS2 which derives from Cygwin and seeks to provide a proper set of Unix tools on Windows, including split: https://packages.msys2.org/package/coreutils. Source: over 1 year ago

• std::cout << "It's a pain";

  Still, it isn't a compiler. You also need to install the Visual Studio build tools, or GCC and/or Clang through MSYS2. Source: over 1 year ago

• What's your preferred project management tool for tracking?

  I did, I also teach it now, but I am talking about the utility included with macOS that lets you boot a Windows environment. Apple hardware is pretty solid so I ran windows on a PowerBook for many years. Source: almost 2 years ago

• How do you download the Fate VNs on Mac M1?

  Nope, Apple is a bitch in the sense that they make a very closed system so you have to use softwares they approved. I tried for years and eventually gave up and got a windows. One that worked for a while was using bootcamp to install windows on mac for dual system but that takes a toll on your computer. Source: almost 2 years ago

• How do you get windows on Mac

  There is a method called “BootCamp” you can find more info on: https://support.apple.com/boot-camp. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Identity V on MacBook

  It’s an official apple thing Https://support.apple.com/boot-camp. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Do I need Windows machine for TWS?

  Also just for the record you can install Windows on a MacBook via bootcamp https://support.apple.com/boot-camp so you don’t really need a windows “machine” to run windows software. Windows doesn’t even enforce activation there (though I think technically speaking you have to activate it). Source: about 2 years ago
