Title: Headers. Where are they?
Post by: ay_okay on September 26, 2007, 06:45:21 am

I know this must sound noobish, but I used to use Dev-Cpp as my IDE. It came with a compiler and libraries. The Code::Blocks Nightly IDE I have doesn't come with the headers, like iostream or anything like that. It uses them from my Dev-cpp installation. So my question is, how can I acquire the header files and libraries needed to compile a win32 STD program?

You must download MinGW. You can get it from www.mingw.org

I went there, and their downloads are numerous. Things like GNU GCC, w32api MYSYS etc. Which would I need to download?

The files are currently available on the  Sourceforge File Release page. The easiest way to install MinGW is through the mingw-installer found in the Current package set, Current->MinGW

direct link:
Current Release: gcc-3.4.5 (http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2435&package_id=82723&release_id=237094)

Edit:
Sorry, wrong link !

here's the right one:
MinGW-5.1.3.exe (http://downloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/MinGW-5.1.3.exe?modtime=1168811236&big_mirror=1)
