| MinGW doesn't provide a linux-like environment, that is MSYS(2) and/or Cygwin | |
| Cygwin is an attempt to create a complete UNIX/POSIX environment on Windows. | |
| MinGW is a C/C++ compiler suite which allows you to create Windows executables - you only | |
| need the normal MSVC runtimes, which are part of any normal Microsoft Windows installation. | |
| MinGW provides headers and libraries so that GCC (a compiler suite, | |
| not just a "unix/linux compiler") can be built and used against the Windows C runtime. |
