After needing a copy of MinGW to compile some C code, I was somewhat annoyed to find that their all in one installer is now considered “deprecated”. That meant I had to download and extract 15 packages manually (two of them were even compressed as .lzma).
Why anyone would compress a package designed for Windows in .lzma format? The only way to extract it is with a command line sdk tool. Even on Linux, distributing archives in .lzma format is a little strange.
Anyhow, to save everyone the trouble, here’s a package (includes C, C++ and all necessary tools) in .7z format (which can be extracted by 7-Zip, the best file archiver for Windows) -> MinGW Compiler Package (202).
