I'm writting application for embedded system. Where i can download gcc version 3.4.3 with glib version 2.3.4 for Cygwin ?
I have download cygwin-gcc-3.3.6-glibc-2.3.2-linux.tar.bz2 but this version isn't suitable for me...
Sometimes linux distributions have a 'compat' packages which make older libraries available. Try searching cygwin for the version of libstdc++ you're looking for.

How to compile the newest gcc release under Windows 10? I have the latest mingw-w64available here which isn't fully c++17 compliant (I cannot use the filesystem library). A build called winlibs is also available but it is built on mingw-w64 8.0.0, so newer standards aren't fully supported. I downloaded the compressed file gcc-10.3.0.tar.gz.
What are the steps needed to do build any new (or old) gcc release on Windows natively without resorting to cygwin or msys or wsl?
Building GCC isn't trivial. It involves multiple steps, starting with having all the dependancies available.
You already had an older winlibs release, who don't you just get the latest winlibs build from http://winlibs.com/ ?
I do not understand what problem you are having with std::filesystem. Perhaps you are using a different mingw. Here is how I get mingw64
Download and install the latest g++ 64 bit compiler from
http://www.msys2.org/ Follow installation instructions on that page.
Note that you will have to stop and restart the MSYS2 command line
tool several times. To do this, close the window and then run
C:\msys64\msys2_shell. When pacman ( packet manager ) reports "there
is nothing to do" run it once more with the command pacman -S
mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain
I need to install SFML for a project. According to the webpage (https://www.sfml-dev.org/download/sfml/2.5.1/) the compiler versions must match. However, my gcc version is 9.2.0, while the library is for GCC version 7.3.0. Hence, I was thinking of uninstalling MinGW 9.2.0 and install MinGW 7.3.0. But I can't seem to find the uninstall button in the MinGW Installer or Control Panel. Any help would be appreciated.
I have MinGW installed on my computer and I just found out that my GCC/G++ has problems compiling newer C++ standards. So I want to upgrade from 4.8.1-4 to the latest version (5.3 at the time of writing this).
The MinGW Installation Manager doesn't install a newer version than 4.8.1-4, so I'll probably have to do it somewhat manually. But how? I heard that Cygwin might be able to do it, but I think MinGW and Cygwin would interfere with each other (environment variables). So I'd rather not do it that way.
MSYS2 might be a good answer to your needs. It has cygwin-like environment together with mingw3/mingw64 environment. And GCC version is 5.3

Are there precompiled Boost binaries for MinGW? I've tried compiling them on my own and I've encountered way too much difficulty, and at this point I'm pretty sure I've broken something vital to Windows and I'm going to figure out what two months down the road. So does anybody know where I can get a precompiled boost library to use? If not, I think I'll just wait until std::thread becomes available on MinGW.
Fedora Linux 16 have them, but compiled with GCC 4.6 (C++ libraries aren't compatible between major compiler versions, Fedora 13 had Boost for GCC 4.4, Fedora 15 has for GCC4.5):
DLLs for: GCC 4.6 GCC 4.5 GCC 4.4
Static for: GCC 4.6 GCC 4.5 GCC 4.4
A free (as in freedom) program — 7-zip — can open this RPM packages on Windows.
It is much easier to cross compile for Windows with MinGW32 on Fedora than to compile with MinGW+MSYS on Windows. Often it is as easy as ./configure --host=i686-pc-mingw32 && make if you have mingw32-* packages installed with distribution's package manager.
A list of available packages for Fedora is here — search for mingw32. There are compiled C and/or C++ libraries for technologies like SDL, Curl, GTK+ with Glib and Glade, Iconv, JPEG, Ogg-Vorbis, SQLite, ZIP, SSL, PCRE, Qt, Readline, Zlib and many more.
It seems a lot of folks have issues with MinGW and Windows when it comes to Boost. I found a great 'how-to' that helped me setup the Eclipse CDT with MinGW and Boost. Worked like a charm, no issues!
How to setup MinGW, Eclipse CDT and Boost
Hope that helps. It covers both Cygwin and MinGW. I used MinGW and now I am making cross platform code in Eclipse. I am also using QMake from the Qt libraries to manage my Makefiles across the multiple platforms. Talk about comfort!
Last week I had a need for the Boost libraries in MinGW. I couldn't find any binaries, but after some very painful debugging I managed to get them compiled myself. I eventually scrapped them and switched to Visual Studio, but I was able to pull the binaries out of my recycling bin for you (compiled with GCC 4.6 I believe):

Hopefully they'll be useful to you.
I'm using RHEL 5.3, shipped with gcc 4.1.2 and boost 1.33.
So, there's no boost::unorded_map, no make_shared() factory function to create boost::shared_ptr and other features available in newer releases of boost.
Is there're a newer version of boost compatible with the version of gcc?
If yes, how the upgrade is performed?
Download the latest version (1.43.0) of the Boost libraries from the Boost website and follow the steps in the getting started guide, which explains how to build Boost on a number of platforms, including Linux.
Simply download and install the newest version; it will adapt itself automatically to your compiler.
Sure, just download the latest source from link text. If you are only using header only libraries, it just needs to be unpacked. If you are using one of a handful that require a library, you will need to build those.
