Hi stahta01,

tbh I am teaching myself C programming.  I am a PLC programmer guy by trade but wanted to learn another language which may help my career in the future (embedded software??)

Hence teaching myself I don't really understand the difference between the compilers.

I do have a short term goal in mind - writing a C program that will clone a log file on a siemens HMI (that runs windows embedded) and copy it to a network location.

So I suppose any pointers to main differences (or where I can learn about them) would be much appreciated.

Thanks
Rob

I would use either an mingw.org or mingw64 GCC Compiler/Toolchain in your case.

mingw.org is 32 bit only and mingw64 is both 32 bit and 64 bit.

mingw.org is older and more strict on code added to their system. http://mingw.org/
mingw64 has more complete set of windows headers because they are not as strict on code added.
https://mingw-w64.org
