    MinGW-W64 compiler binaries

    • I noticed most tutorials recommend downloading the installer from a sourceforge page, https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/ but the official MinGW-w64 site provides a link to a GitHub page. https://github.com/niXman/mingw-builds-binaries/releases Which one is safer? Which one would you choose?

    Scripts for building the 32 and 64-bit MinGW-W64 compilers for Windows

    • 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.
