mingw portable binary

Sep 4, 2018 at 11:34am
Hello
Today I found cevelop (it is eclipse cdt will bells and whistles).
But it needs mingw to be installed and on you path.
I am looking for:
A. A portable prebuilt mingw 64bit (32bit if it have to).
B. How to make eclipse cdt to puck it up. I don't really know if it is enough though to just put that folder in my windows path.
Thanks for all your help.

Only thing I would recommend is to switch plain mingw with mingw-w64.

Thanks a lot @poteto;
I found "prebuild mingw64bit version" it has a bin folder in it ( 📁 bin).
Should I add the whole folder in my windows PATH or just the bin folder.
Inside bin folder there are all exe files. Like gcc.exe ld.exe .....

That's what it says in the blog. Just point to mingw. You can put bin on the path if you want to compile using the command line if you want, but I think it is easy to just call PATH=C:/mingw/bin. And if you dig deeper I think there should be an option in eclipse to set a path in the IDE instead of using the global PATH.
