After you install MinGW, you might want to install a nice graphical IDE (integrated development environment) to use with MinGW. There's a new IDE called Code::Blocks that works with MinGW. I am not familiar with Code::Blocks but it looks promising.
Code::Blocks binary packages come in several flavors:
- Windows 2000/XP/Vista
- Installer without a C/C++ compiler
- Installer with the GCC compiler and GDB debugger from MinGW
- Installer without a C/C++ compiler
- Linux 32-bit
- Linux 64-bit
- Mac OS X
As we have already installed MinGW, download the Code::Blocks installer without MinGW.
GDB Debugger
This is optional, too. If you are going to code extensively, you'll find the GDB debugger useful. The GDB debugger helps you debug your program and pinpoint which part in your source code is causing problems. Note that the Code::Blocks installer with MinGW for Windows already contains GDB Debugger.
