And here I was thinking I'd just be able to download a simple installer...

Not necessarily. If you wish source code compatibility with a program written under Linux, gcc for Windows might be your best option.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

Most definitely the correct answer. MinGW + CMake are pretty much straightforward. Though I don't know if it can crosscompile?

I've been through this myself.
Sometimes you come upon some _simple_ thing and you remember it is 2021 (and all the stuff you had to go through back in 1995) and your eyeballs bulge out of your head (because of the pressure built up in your brain, from thinking about the contrast of how simple a thing could be and comparing it to the absolute crazy reality and then noticing it is 2021 & this simple stuff is as difficult (or more so) than it was in 1995). 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

Msys2 has GCC builds for Windows, along with a full unix style toolchain based on Cygwin, and using the Pacman package manager. They even provide a ton of other tools and libraries.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Yeah - MSYS2 was what I ended up using.
But still...

Is it just me or is gcc particularly ridiculous? FTFY

MinGW Distro - nuwen.net[^]
MinGW + boost + many other libraries. Nice job by the guy who takes care of the MSVC C/C++ runtime.

Thanks for the link - very nice job.

Another way to obtain a gcc compiler for Windows is to install Bloodshed C++ environment that comes with MinGW64 and a great IDE.
You can use winget:
PS C:\Users\User> winget search gcc
Nome Id Versione Corrispondenza Origine
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CrossWorks for ARM Rowley.CrossWorks 4.8 Tag: GCC winget
Embarcadero Dev-C++ Bloodshed.Dev-C++ 6.3 Tag: gcc winget
GNU Arm Embedded Toolchain Arm.GnuArmEmbeddedToolchain 10-2021.07 Tag: gcc winget
libjpeg-turbo SDK (GCC) libjpeg-turbo.libjpeg-turbo-gcc 2.1.1 winget
Go Programming Language GoLang.Go 1.17.2 Tag: gccgp winget
PS C:\Users\User>winget install Bloodshed.Dev-C++
...
or use the installer form Embarcadero:
Free Embarcadero Dev-C++[^]
If you are interested in give a try to clang for windows, I would like to suggest you install https://www.ultimatepp.org/ which comes with clang 10 for Windows.
PS C:\Users\User> C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\upp\bin\clang\bin\clang++.exe --version
clang version 10.0.0 (https:
Target: x86_64-w64-windows-gnu
Thread model: posix
InstalledDir: C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\upp\bin\clang\bin
PS C:\Users\User>

You can.
Or you can alternatively download an archive with all the bits you need.

That one I had not seen before. I'll give it a go on my other machine.

Mikee should try new things! 
I've been using Vivaldi for over 4 years as a primary browser. It is based on Chromium and I've had no problems with page rendering, and it's successfully installed the extensions I've tried. Apparently extensions that use the original Chromium I/F may not work if it's something Vivaldi changed.
Built-in ad, pop-up, and tracker blocking caught my initial attention. Bookmark management is superior to other browsers I've tried, and the syncing works flawlessly IME. Tab and session management are superior. I tried the email client, didn't care for it and haven't checked it in years, and haven't used the calendar.

A browser has one job, yet that one does at least three?
|
|
|
|

I use Vivaldi a bit on Android, it's good. But my primary on Android is Opera.
On desktop, I use Firefox almost exclusively.
Cheers,
Vikram.

I use Opera on Windows and like it very much

I tried it for a while but at the time it was fairly identical to Chrome so I didn't bother learning new quirks.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.
|
|
|
|
|
A friend of mine used it. I think he still does.
|
|
|
|
|
I would be more inclined to try it if it did not have a mail and calendar. I have no use for those in a browser.
