RubyInstaller is the easiest and most used Ruby environment on Windows. And Ruby is a great language for beginners as well as professionals. It’s suitable for small scripts as well as large applications. RubyInstaller combines the possibilities of native Windows programs with the rich UNIX toolset of MSYS2 and the large repository of MINGW. How to install MinGW, MSYS and Eclipse on windows. This is a short guide on how to install MinGW and MSYS using the latest stable. This guide has been updated on. I download the mingw-installer, it only offers to me 32 bit settings, I searched about a 64 bit version of mingw, but it doesn’t come with a setup, can you.
I have downloaded CodeBlocks 17.02 without mingw and installed it, then I downloaded MinGW64 from here(https://mingw-w64.org/doku.php/download) and only changed the architecture option from i686 to x86_64 during the installation and left the rest as default. Then tried to add this path to system paths: C:Program Filesmingw-w64x86_64-8.1.0-posix-seh-rt_v6-rev0mingw64x86_64-w64-mingw32bin. But when I opened the CodeBlocks, it couldn't find the compiler. Also when I go to settings>compiler and try to set GNU GCC compiler it says: can not find the compiler!
How should I specify the MinGW64 for CodeBlocks om Windows 10?

Here I explain the procedure with the ZIP files which does not requires administrator privilege or a setup.exe, just extract those with any decompression tool. This procedure is focused on C/C++. These settings may vary in other languages. The required links will be in last section.
Download Code::Blocks and mingw-w64 from it's download page, the file name will be like 'codeblocks-17.12-nosetup.zip' and 'x86_64-8.1.0-release-posix-seh-rt_v6-rev0.7z' respectively. The mingw-w64 file may be with seh or sjlj Extract those in any drive or any folder with 7zip. For example, here I choose
E:CodeBlocksandE:mingw64.Open CodeBlocks.exe from that extraction folder. There will be a warning like 'No compiler found'. Go to Settings > Compiler > Global Compiler Settings > Toolchain executables > Compiler's Installation Directory. Make sure GCC is default compiler. Choose the extraction folder of mingw-w64 (here
E:mingw64). Then select the compiler, linker, make programs one-by-one. The window will look like this screenshot:
Mingw Setup Download
Now it is ready to go. These configurations are saved in '%AppData%CodeBlocksdefault.conf` file.
