- You'll want the Win 64 build with UCRT "C runtime" (the older MSVCRT was plain bad).

I've been looking for the 64-bit MinGW Windows installer for a bit now and can't find it, people on forums just link back to the 32-bit installer saying "It works on 64-bit Windows". I have no clue how I found it before but I got it on my laptop about 2 months ago but can't find it now when I want to get it for my desktop. I'm currently running the newest version from the github but it doesn't come with libraries like GMP and every attempt to find / create it separately doesn't work
Download web installer from here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/Toolchains%20targetting%20Win32/Personal%20Builds/mingw-builds/installer/mingw-w64-install.exe/download
You can get a MinGW-w64 build that requires no installation from http://winlibs.com/, just extract the archive and start using it. The site also explains how to use the compiler from Code::Blocks IDE.
