MinGW on Windows 7 64 bit

I am trying to install MinGW on Windows 7 on a 64 bit system, but after the installation is complete, some basic files like stdio.h are missing.

I install the same MinGW package on Windows XP 32bit and there is no problem (I have stdio.h...)

I use mingw-get-inst-20111118.exe found at MinGW download

Should I do something differently on a 64 bit system (or Windows 7)? Should I try MinGW 64?

I tried mingw-get install gcc today and now I see stdio.h is installed on my system. I am sure I've tried this before. I think something has been fixed in Mingw installer recently that resolves the problem.

Perform these steps:

  • Open a MinGW Shell from the start menu shortcut at All Programs > MinGW > MinGW Shell:

  • Run the following command:

    mingw-get install mingwrt

  • Verify that the installation was successful by checking for stdio.h at:

    C:\MinGW\include\stdio.h
