I'm unable to install 3 of the MinGw Packages using the get-installer. It shows that the installation has failed because it can't download the compressed file from the sourceforge site.
I need the MinGw packages for use in Code Blocks. Is there any way I can fix this issue (or) if possible
Can I download the remaining files manually?
Please chip in with a suggestion/method to help with completing the installation. I'm using a Windows 7 32-bit system.

So I decided to install a c++ compiler for Windows and thus downloaded the MinGW installer. Once I opened it, I saw a number of packages and checked all the "C++ compiler" packages (am I using the right terminology here?) for installation. I also saw other stuff like "mingw32-base" and all. What does this do? Should I install it? Also, what is the difference between mingw and mingw32?
If you don't need additional packages you shouldn't install them.
But MinGW is a bit outdated. It's better to switch to MinGW-w64, which exists for both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows.
You can get MinGW-w64 either by installing MSYS2 and installing via its package manager (pacman), or - if you don't need the additional MSYS2 shell and just want to compiler tools - you can get a standalone package from https://winlibs.com/ and just unzip it.
I downloaded the MinGW Installation Manager and installed most of the packages available there in trying to find the 'devpropdef.h' file.
This file is needed by the openframeworks library and without it, I cannot compile the most basic project.
This file was listed by one of the contributors in this thread, but I don't know what happened to it.
Does anyone know which package it is in from the MinGW installation manager? Or how I can get my hands on it?
The http://winlibs.com/ build of GCC/MinGW-w64 has a very recent version of MinGW-w64 which contains devpropdef.h.
Just recently I have begun to review the code for a project produced by a friend roughly 4 years ago. However, to compile this project I need an outdated version of Qt (version 3.3.8). Much of the code used in this project isn't supported in the same style as Qt4. So I'd first like to obtain Qt3 before I transition to Qt4.
Ubuntu has decided to no longer carry "qt3-dev-tools". Ubuntu has limited the selection to "qt4-dev-tools" in its repository. So installing via the command line option (sudo apt-get install qt3-dev-tools) results in an error:
"Unable to locate package qt3-dev-tools."
So, from here I did some digging for a manual installation? I found a great website to help me through the process, but I'm not very knowledgeable about Ubuntu, or Linux in general. Step 1 was simple. But step 2 and onward stumped me. I'm supposed to be both adding the environment variables listed in step two to the .profile file and then setting them, correct?
In step 2, is logging in again just meant for users with the .login shell? When I type in $HOME/.qt-license of step three, I suppose I'm typing this into the terminal?. Same with the ./configure? Both of these commands return no such file exists.
Does anyone know a better walk through to install Qt3 files, or can give a quick breakdown of this tutorial?
The website tutorial:

If u can get .rpm package then open it in ubuntu software centre . It will get installed.
http://download.qt.io/archive/qt/3/ try downloading the package for qt3 from this qt archive & install it.
Hi I've tried to install the latest codelite but when I try to open it, it doesn't. I followed the instructions on the site but no luck.
I'm using openSUSE 13.2 64-bit
You probably need to install the wxWidgets runtime libs, which were supposed to be included in the CodeLite package but weren't.
openSUSE don't seem to have a meta-package for these, and there are a confusing number of choices, most of which will be wrong for you. However if you ask yast to install libwx_gtk2u_webview-suse-3_0-0 I think you'll find that will depend on the rest of the correct libwx* family.
At the time of this writing, you can install codelite and wxwidget in opensuste in a straightforward method. Just go to the
opensuse software repository and search for codelite. After representation of the results press on the button
Direct Install
to let you install the package on your machine.
I've been strugling for two weeks to create an environment for building a gstreamer plugin on windows (needed for a songbird addon).
I've installed MSYS, MinGW and Cygwin, then installed GStreamer OSSBuild, and I also downloaded the sources for Songbird, which come with their own precompiled version of gstreamer.
I was unable to run gst-inspect (or any other gstreamer applications) from the songbird sources and I figured I will settle for OSSBuild (as I was able to run gst-inspect from the compiled OSSBuild).
When following the instructions for building a GST plugin (found here) through, cygwin will not recognize the OSSBuild and the build fails when running autogen, with the following error:
checking for GST... no
configure: error:
You need to install or upgrade the GStreamer development
packages on your system. On debian-based systems these are
libgstreamer0.10-dev and libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev.
on RPM-based systems gstreamer0.10-devel, libgstreamer0.10-devel
or similar. The minimum version required is 0.10.16.
configure failed
I could also not use MSYS or MinGW as they are unable to run autogen at all.
I understand that cygwin should have it's own gstreamer development packages but I couldn't find how to install them.
My question: How do I install the gstreamer packages in cygwin or how do I build using cygwin with the OSSBuild dependencies?
In short, how do I get an environment where I can build a gstreamer plugin under windows?
you can install precompiled gstreamer packages for cygwin at cygwinports. there you will find installation instructions and a list of available packages. you should not need to build them from source.
Configure's most likely going to look for libtool (.la) or pkg-config (.pc) files. Since OSSBuild is built using MSVC, you're not likely to get those files so configure can pick them up. However, you can manually create them and set them in a location to be picked up by the script. I do know that OSSBuild does have as its goal to eventually provide Visual Studio-compatible C/C++ project templates for GStreamer plugins as well as libtool and pkg-config files, but they're not available just yet.
If you checkout the OSSBuild source and can follow MSVC property files, you can see how the plugins are setup and configured.
