Is MinGW Still Current?

[Yawzheek]

Hey guys,

I ditched MSVC because I just don't have space for it (128GB SSD can't support the ridiculous amounts of storage for VS) and decided to try out a "real" compiler, which I hate doing but there aren't many options.

Cygwin can go straight to hell since it had issues opening executables to begin with, and MinGW was fine, but I (unintentionally) uninstalled it because I thought it out of date because it wouldn't accept list initialization.

Of course now I know that you have to give it the command to use C++11 features (and if there's a way to default that I'd love to hear it), but going back to reinstall it, I'm noticing it doesn't look like it has been updated since 2013, and I'm not certain if it has an update/where it would be if so.

I REALLY don't want to deal with FTP and the GNU site, but it's not looking good.

Is MinGW good, or am I going to have to go that other route?

Give this one a go: https://nuwen.net/mingw.html

It provides GCC 6.1, which is very recent in compiler terms.

Oh you are a lifesaver! I couldn't find a current version, and when I checked the last version I had it was WELL behind the current GCC version.

Thanks a million man!
