How To Install GCC and Make on Windows 8 System
GCC and Make are built-in tools on linux machines. However, as an user of Windows, I need to install them manually.
Step 1. Download and install MinGW Installation Manager
MinGW(Dowload) 全稱 Minimalist GNU For Windows，是個精簡的Windows平台C/C++、ADA及Fortran編譯器，相比Cygwin而言，體積要小很多，使用較為方便。MinGW提供了一套完整的開源編譯工具集，以適合Windows平台應用開發，且不依賴任何第三方C運行時庫。
MinGW包括：
- 一套集成編譯器，包括C、C++、ADA語言和Fortran語言編譯器
- 用於生成Windows二進製文件的GNU工具的（編譯器、鏈接器和檔案管理器）
- 用於Windows平台安裝和部署MinGW和MSYS的命令行安裝器（mingw-get）
- 用於命令行安裝器的GUI打包器（mingw-get-inst）
