I want to play around with GCC 4.5 but on GCC's site it says that they don't supply binaries. I开发者_如何学Go think downloading the source and building GCC from scratch is a bit of overkill (even if the OS I'm using (Windows) is rather obscure).

Where can I download GCC 4.5 for Windows?

(I don't want all of Cygwin, just GCC)

try tdm-gcc for windows http://tdm-gcc.tdragon.net/download

Does MinGW work for you?

---

If you don't want cygwin, try mingw instead, it's smaller. There is no gcc.exe.

Download gcc free binary builds for different architectures here http://www.comsytec.com/products/gnu-binaries/gcc-binaries.html

I strongly recommend the binaries from MinGW-builds, they are just so full of win:

• Prompt builds of the latest GCC versions.
• Binaries for both 32 and 64-bit hosts are available.
• Both kinds of binaries can target 32 and 64-bit platforms (to produce 32-bit compiles from the 64-bit binaries use -m32; for the converse, -m64).
• Both kinds of binaries are available with your choice of POSIX or win32 threading models.
• You also get to choose between exception handling implementations: DW2 or SJLJ for 32-bit binaries and SEH or SJLJ for 64-bit binaries.

For more information on the above and an evaluation of lots of prebuilt binary sources, check this page from the Qt wiki so that you can judge on your own. If you do decide on MinGW-builds, start browsing for your binaries here.

Through MinGW or Cygwin, as GNU does not provide binaries.
