Alternatively you can download a MinGW Win32 Application source release. If you have Git installed, you can get the sample code by running “ git clone ”. This is much like what the Visual Studio Application Wizard will generate for you, and you can use my application as a template for your own applications. It’s not intended to be the worlds best example of user interface design, but rather an attempt to demonstrate some of the functionality which can be achieved using MinGW with the minimum amount of code. In this article, I will build a basic Windows GUI application in C using MinGW and the mingw32-make utility. Whether you’re running Windows, Linux, Mac OS, or some other OS, I will show you how use MinGW to create professional quality GUI applications targeting Microsoft Windows. MinGW also supports cross compilation, for example allowing you to build Windows applications using a Linux based system. MinGW is a native Win32 port of the open source GNU Compiler Collection, and can be used to write applications targeting Windows in languages such a C and C++ (see the MinGW web site for further details of the supported programming languages).
