Is cpp compiling in windows a mess or is it just my head?

• w64devkit

  72 2,358 7.6 C

  Portable C and C++ Development Kit for x64 (and x86) Windows

building on the answer of others, if you want to have a look at another distribution of gcc for windows, have a look at w64devkit. I'm mainly a linux/embedded developer, but for the platform-independent projects I have a widows vm setup with this toolchain + cmake and it works

• cmake-init

  164 1,812 8.1 CMake

  The missing CMake project initializer

You can just use cmake-init. The commands in the example GIF work on all platforms the same. You even got a lot of example repositories for different things like dependency management, fuzzing, superbuilds and enabling mirroring file system view in VS (but that feels like a hack, pls MS fix this).

• WorkOS

• llvm-mingw

  15 1,634 8.9 C

  An LLVM/Clang/LLD based mingw-w64 toolchain

I'm using cmale with ninja and this toolchain (https://github.com/mstorsjo/llvm-mingw), works like a charm, there's nothing else to install, it just works
