Re:WinLibs: Standalone build of GCC and MinGW-w64 for Windows by beckford on Sunday April 30, 2023 @11:19AM (#35763360)
I missed the answer to: How is this different than MSYS2?

After digging through some of the sublinks:

- You can run gcc in the Command Prompt without using a special shell (MSYS2 has its own shell launcher)

- Maybe MSYS2’s gcc handles exceptions (SEH, etc.) differently

- Lacks a package manager like MSYS2’s pacman (which comes from Arch Linux). But winlibs plans to have something in the future

What did I miss? Would love to see a comparison directly on the home page.
