The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Security question about installing MinGW-w64
IMHO with niXman you can go through the entire integration code and even setup a workflow yourself to build the binaries. There are a lot of scripts to check in https://github.com/niXman/mingw-builds but still manageable. No idea how the SF binaries are built. It'd probably roll with niXman. For now I use the Linux cross-compiler.

Personal builds of mingw-w64
But, niXman has hosted his build scripts at https://github.com/niXman/mingw-builds where you can see the whole commit history.

MinGW-w64, outdated binaries
'niXman' stopped uploading binaries to sourceforce, but the scripts he uses to build are uploaded at https://github.com/niXman/mingw-builds

Windows XP dedicated image viewer?
Click "View raw" to download. The executable is just ~3kB. If you'd like to try building it yourself, I distribute a Windows XP-friendly, no-installation-required C and C++ toolchain, w64devkit. The 32-bit toolchains are labeled "i686" (on the right under "Releases"). The build command (cc ...) is at the top of the source file.

Can you help me finish this vDSO Loader + mini-Elf64 Parser?
I bundle my preferred tools together in a standalone compiler toolkit for Windows: w64devkit. Except Git and documentation (see the links in the README), that's essentially everything I need to be productive.

Build a GCC 13 compiler from source for Windows 10/11
I have a Dockerfile here that goes through all the steps bootstrapping a Mingw-w64 toolchain from source: https://github.com/skeeto/w64devkit

Why is Swift so slow (timeout) in compiling this code?
FWIW, both GNU objcopy and GNU ld (including e.g. the XCOPY-deployable ones from w64devkit[1]) are perfectly capable[2] of turning binary data into MSVC-acceptable COFF files with start and end symbols, while Free Pascal, for example, straight up ships with a bin2obj tool; the MSVC toolset is the outlier here.

Generic Binary Tree Delete Function Error
Sounds like an high priority issue to solve first. I distribute a toolchain that doesn't require installation and includes a debugger: w64devkit (see "Releases"). You can pluck out the gdb.exe since it's statically linked and doesn't depend on anything else in the kit.

I've just finished to upgrade my raycaster game engine, adding multiplayer and more! Written from scratch in C and SDL2. GitHub in the comments :)
This particular case is a Windows program due to Winsock, and I happen to include all the above tools, except SDL2, a small Mingw-w64 distribution, w64devkit. So it doesn't take much!

Similar project providing slightly fewer tools: https://github.com/skeeto/w64devkit
What are some alternatives?
When comparing mingw-builds and w64devkit you can also consider the following projects:
mingw-distro - MinGW distro build scripts.
llvm-mingw - An LLVM/Clang/LLD based mingw-w64 toolchain
mingw-builds-binaries - MinGW-W64 compiler binaries
cmake-init - The missing CMake project initializer
msys2-installer - The one-click installer for MSYS2
xschem - A schematic editor for VLSI/Asic/Analog custom designs, netlist backends for VHDL, Spice and Verilog. The tool is focused on hierarchy and parametric designs, to maximize circuit reuse.
ubuntu-mainline-kernel.sh - Bash script for Ubuntu (and derivatives) to easily (un)install kernels from the Ubuntu Kernel PPA
docker-go-mingw - Docker image for building Go binaries with MinGW toolchain
SCL_String - Public domain, header-only file to simplify the C programmer's life in their interaction with strings
Build-Scripts - Collection of build scripts useful when testing on downlevel, abandonware and ransomware clients
studiojs - Web interface for editing DOS games
