Gcc by mingw-w64.sf.net gcc version 4.4.3 or later
Note that the last two of these are actually competing projects both
delivering complete gcc toolchain for MS Windows:
- http://mingw.org - delivers gcc toolchain targeting 32-bit Windows
- platform. Use version 3.2.x or later for the best results with this
- compiler.

- http://mingw-w64.sf.net - delivers gcc toolchain targeting both 64-bit
Windows and 32-bit Windows platforms (despite the project name "mingw-w64"
=item MinGW release 3 with gcc
-The latest release of MinGW at the time of writing is 3.1.0, which contains
-gcc-3.2.3. It can be downloaded here:
+Perl can be compiled with gcc from MinGW release 3 and later (using gcc 3.2.x
+and later). It can be downloaded here:
http://www.mingw.org/
-Perl also compiles with earlier releases of gcc (2.95.2 and up). See below
-for notes about using earlier versions of MinGW/gcc.
-
-And perl also compiles with gcc-4.3.0 and up, and perhaps even some of the
-earlier 4.x.x versions.
-
You also need dmake. See L</"Make"> above on how to get it.
-=item MinGW release 1 with gcc
-
-The MinGW-1.1 bundle contains gcc-2.95.3.
-
-Make sure you install the binaries that work with MSVCRT.DLL as indicated
-in the README for the GCC bundle. You may need to set up a few environment
-variables (usually ran from a batch file).
-
-There are a couple of problems with the version of gcc-2.95.2-msvcrt.exe
-released 7 November 1999:
-

-
-=item *
-
-It left out a fix for certain command line quotes. To fix this, be sure
-to download and install the file fixes/quote-fix-msvcrt.exe from the above
-ftp location.
-
-=item *
-
-The definition of the fpos_t type in stdio.h may be wrong. If your
-stdio.h has this problem, you will see an exception when running the
-test t/lib/io_xs.t. To fix this, change the typedef for fpos_t from
-"long" to "long long" in the file i386-mingw32msvc/include/stdio.h,
-and rebuild.

-
-A potentially simpler to install (but probably soon-to-be-outdated) bundle
-of the above package with the mentioned fixes already applied is available
-here:

- http://downloads.ActiveState.com/pub/staff/gsar/gcc-2.95.2-msvcrt.zip

what you want if you use a shell that does that for you. The expansion
done is also somewhat less powerful than the approach suggested above.
-=item Windows Specific Extensions
-
-A number of extensions specific to the Windows platform are available
-from CPAN. You may find that many of these extensions are meant to
-be used under the Activeware port of Perl, which used to be the only
-native port for the Windows platform. Since the Activeware port does not
-have adequate support for Perl's extension building tools, these
-extensions typically do not support those tools either and, therefore,
-cannot be built using the generic steps shown in the previous section.
-
-To ensure smooth transitioning of existing code that uses the
-ActiveState port, there is a bundle of Win32 extensions that contains
-all of the ActiveState extensions and several other Win32 extensions from
-CPAN in source form, along with many added bugfixes, and with MakeMaker
-support. The latest version of this bundle is available at:
-
- http://search.cpan.org/dist/libwin32/
-
-See the README in that distribution for building and installation
-instructions.
