Win32 port of gcc? (preferably not Cygnus)

Win32 port of gcc? (preferably not Cygnus)

[Klaus Seidenfaden]

Can anyone direct me to a port of gcc to the Win32 platform (Win95/98)?  I
would prefer not to have to install CygWin, if possible.  (I have recently
installed ActiveState's Perl port and would like to make use of the perlcc
utility.)

See http://www.xraylith.wisc.edu/~khan/software/gnu-win32/ for 3 different
gcc-2.95.2 ports to various win32 targets.

  - Cygwin -- Uses Cygnus' POSIX API (Unix'y)
    http://sourceware.cygnus.com/cygwin/
  - Mingw -- Use Microsoft runtime, no POSIX (native Win32)
  - UWIN -- Uses AT&T UWIN POSIX API (Unix'y)
    http://www.research.att.com/sw/tools/uwin/

There is short synopsis of these terms (Cygwin, Mingw, UWIN) on my
web site to help you decide.

For either Cygwin or UWIN, you need install the base system from
respective sites. For Mingw, all you need are the compiler tools 
from my site (self extracting package).

All distributions come with C, C++, F77, ObjC compilers and runtime
headers/libraries. Cygwin and UWIN also come with GNU Java compiler.

See http://gcc.gnu.org/ for information on GCC compilers.

For DOS target, see http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/ .
