Set Up MinGW for Sublime Text

Overview

[MinGW]((http://www.mingw.org/), a contraction of “Minimalist GNU for Windows”, is a minimalist development environment for native Microsoft Windows applications.
MinGW includes:

  • A port of the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC), including C, C++, ADA and Fortran compilers;
  • GNU Binutils for Windows (assembler, linker, archive manager);
  • A command-line installer, with optional GUI front-end, (mingw-get) for MinGW and MSYS deployment on MS-Windows;
  • A GUI first-time setup tool (mingw-get-setup), to get you up and running with mingw-get.
