How to update GCC in MinGW on Windows?

by

Update using terminal:

  1. Run the command prompt/terminal (cmd or sh).

  2. Update the package list:

    mingw-get update

  3. After updating the package list, run:

    mingw-get upgrade

When the command finishes running, all of your packages will be upgraded.

Update using the GUI version:

If you aren’t used to the terminal, there is also a GUI version of MinGW called “MinGW Installation Manager”, which is normally located at:

C:\MinGW\libexec\mingw-get\guimain.exe

  1. When the GUI is open, tap Installation -> Update Catalogue. This will update the package list.

  2. After that, tap Installation -> Mark All Upgrades. This will select all of the packages which can be upgraded.

  3. Finally, tap Installation -> Apply Changes to apply the upgrades.
