What about Gcc under the WSL thing (ie Linux emulation in Windows). Much better than Cygwin type stuff.

Interesting criterias could be: - ease of use - availability - standards compliance - performance When the comparison will be complete, we should publish it in the doc/ directory, while porting DPDK to Windows. I start with few data: * gcc|clang on cygwin - not native * gcc/mingw * gcc/mingw-w64 * clang/mingw-w64 * clang --target=x86_64-windows-msvc * icc - not freely available * msvc - native - specific command line - not C99
