[http://www.mingw.org/ MinGW] is a port of [[GCC]] to [[Windows]].
MinGW can compile Ada, C, C++, Fortran and Objective-C. The compiled programs are <tt>.exe</tt> files; they can use the Microsoft C runtime <tt>MSVCRT.DLL</tt> and several other Microsoft libraries.
MinGW also provides the import libraries (like <tt>libadvapi32.a</tt> and <tt>libmscvcrt.a</tt>) and the header files (like <windows.h> and <stdio.h>). GCC needs these to compile programs that use the Windows API. The compiled programs only need the DLL libraries. Microsoft includes the DLL libraries with Windows.
MinGW always produces 32-bit code for x86. MinGW never produces 16-bit nor 64-bit code.
