For external "C3 libraries" it's possible (see Raylib for example), but for the standard library, which is included in a different way (at the moment) it doesn't work (yet)
It is already possible to use mingw. BUT that said it is not an ideal solution since using MSVC is guaranteed to be the most compatible. Also, the plan is...
There was a way which I was researching.
The problem is with linking. If you want to be able to link MSVC without running into bugs in some cases, then you use the MS libraries. And not all...
@89z, To try to improve this, I've lately released a script to pull in dependencies. It's a python script that is bundled with the binaries `msvc_build_libraries.py`. If you run it...
LLVM MinGW is essentially grabbing the same thing but with worse compatibility and not all of the .lib files. I'm saying worse compatibility because of what I read Zig is...
I should also mention that I originally had Mingw support in the compiler but have been dropping that.
Basically what the commenter is looking for is what's already achieved for C3. In regards to "Mingw being better than Windows". For C3 the libs are simply used to link...
NuGet is another third party solution. It's possible that it can be used, or maybe it can't. If someone makes a compelling script for it that is competitive with what...
@89z I appreciate that you're so invested in improving the download footprint for windows compilation. The current script is a beginning and no means the endgame, but with limited resources...
