How to install MinGW 64 on windows 10

Viewed 39694

I simply want to install MinGW64 to get the 64 bits C compiler. I know there are tons of tutorials on the web but they do not work for me.

  1. I went to: https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/ and clicked the download button.

  2. According to the tutorials i saw there should be an installer but all i got is a folder named 'mingw-w64-v7.0.0'

inside of it there are those folders:

build-aux

COPYING.MinGW-w64

COPYING.MinGW-w64-runtime

mingw-w64-crt

mingw-w64-doc

mingw-w64-headers

mingw-w64-libraries

mingw-w64-tools

but i found nowhere any kind of executables or installer, what do i do next ?

Note I already have the 32 bits version installed in c:\MinGW, thank you very much for any help as i am getting really frustrated.

You can get a MinGW-w64 build that requires no installation from http://winlibs.com/, just extract the archive and start using it. The site also explains how to use the compiler from Code::Blocks IDE.
