MinGW or Mingw32 (Minimalist GNU for Windows) is a software port of the GNU toolchain to the Win32 platform. Unlike Cygwin it does not require a compatibility layer DLL nor does its license require that applications developed with it are released under the GPL.
MinGW includes a set of Windows header files (W32API) for native Win32 development.
MinGW is usually used together with MSYS (Minimal SYStem) that provides a unix-like shell in which configure scripts can be run.
