C compiler for 64-bit Win 7?

Started by commengr ●September 12, 2010
Hi,

Please suggest a C compiler that works for Windows 7 OS with 64-bit
processor.

Thanks

Is there a port that works under Windows 7?

Do you need to implement control loops in software?

Its worth explaining the reason for those two.

- mingw gives you the GNU tools in the windows environment.

- cygwin gives you a Unix like environment within the windows environment,
and runs the GNU tools within that.

I used to find a lot of quirks with mingw, but I believe its pretty solid
these days. cygwin has always been pretty solid, but the extra layers make
it slower than mingw.

I can cross-compile from Linux to 64 bit windows and those
binaries work on windows 7.

I haven't compiled anything specifically for 64 bit Win7; however what 
is wrong with MSVC in this regard?

Oh Erik, don't talk so sexy... (I love these "giving Windoze development
environments the finger" types of development!)
