wxWidgets supports several different gcc-based toolchains under Windows,

Windows. They can be downloaded from:
|
including:
|
||||||
|
|

http://www.cygwin.com/
|
- [MinGW-w64](http://mingw-w64.sourceforge.net/)
|
||||||
|
- [TDM-GCC](http://tdm-gcc.tdragon.net/)
|

- Classic [MinGW](http://www.mingw.org/)

Please retrieve and install the latest version of your preferred
|
||||||
|
tool chain by following the instructions provided by these packages.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
http://mingw-w64.sourceforge.net/
|
Additionally note that MinGW-w64 can be used as a cross-compiler from Unix
|
||||||
|
systems, including [WSL](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Subsystem_for_Linux).

respectively. Please retrieve and install the latest version of your preferred
|
|
||||||
tool chain by following the instructions provided by these packages. Notice
|
|
||||||
that Cygwin includes both native Cygwin compiler, which produces binaries that
|
|
||||||
require Cygwin during run-time, and MinGW[-w64] cross-compilers which can still
|
|
||||||
be used in Cygwin environment themselves but produce plain Windows binaries
|
|
||||||
without any special run-time requirements. You will probably want to use the
|
|
||||||
latter for developing your applications.

If using MinGW, you can download the add-on MSYS package to provide Unix-like
|
|

tools that you'll need to build wxWidgets using configure.
