• Barbie Secret Agent game for Mac

  Also, if your sister has an Intel Mac instead of an M1 Mac, I highly suggest VirtualBox and setting up something like Windows XP on that instead of Windows 11-- the steps will be pretty similar, and VirtualBox is free. Source: 5 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

• Installing MinGW W64 with FFMPEG on Windows and fixing the weird "file downloaded incorrectly" error.
