Mingw (www.mingw.org) and mingw-w64 (mingw-w64.sourceforge.net) are two different projects with two different mailing lists (mingw-us...@lists.sourceforge.net and mingw-w64-public@lists.sourceforge.net, respectively). > I preferring a manual install downloaded the files stated as needed for a > minimal system plus the gbd and document packages from: > URL = http://http://www.mingw.org//wiki/InstallationHOWTOforMinGW I think the current set-ups are such that it is easier to carry out a purely manual install process with mingw-w64. > Then I recalled reading somewhere, back when, that there is also a different > Mingw.

If I remember correctly, mingw-w64 provides both 32-bit and 64-bit toolchains, while I think that mingw only provides the 32-bit version. (Hopefully some one will chime in if I have this wrong). I do believe that mingw is planning a future 64-bit version. > If there are multiple flavors of Mingw and different x-bit packages I would > like to know which is which, what is different. Again, two separate projects with two separate web sites and two separate mailing lists. (This is the mingw-w64 mailing list.) Both compilers work -- I can't really say which would be better suited to your purposes. > Thank you. Good luck., and ... Happy Mingw/w64 Hacking! K.
