TDM-GCC

TDM-GCC is a compiler suite for Microsoft Windows.[1] It is a commonly recommended compiler in many books, both for beginners[2] and more experienced programmers.[3]

  • It combines the most recent stable release of the GCC toolset, a few patches for Windows-friendliness, and the free and open-source MinGW runtime APIs to create an open-source alternative to Microsoft's compiler and platform SDK.
  • It can create 32-bit or 64-bit binaries, for any version of Windows since Windows 98.
  • It has an easy-to-use single-file installer that creates a working installation with just a few clicks, and can update that installation when new packages become available.
  • It consists of command-line tools only. If you want a visual IDE (text editor, compiler interface, visual debugger), Code::Blocks integrates well with TDM-GCC.[4]

TDM-GCC is a redistribution of components that are freely available elsewhere.[5]
