1. tdm-gcc (http://tdm-gcc.tdragon.net/) is the easiest to setup. 2. mingw64 gets you a newer gcc, but needs more work to setup. 3. msys2 supports better linking to more libraries, but it also requires you to work in a separate shell outside from Windows, and installation is separate from just installing Go.
If it works with tdm-gcc, then it will work in mingw64 and msys2. But not necessarily the other way around. + Egon On Wednesday, 28 March 2018 16:17:32 UTC+3, Luke Mauldin wrote: > > Can someone please tell me what the golang team uses as the reference > windows x64 compiler?
