I care about a minimal set of tools in order to compile C/C++ programs. thats offered by:
https://github.com/mstorsjo/llvm-mingw/releases https://github.com/mstorsjo/llvm-mingw/releases
and also MSYS2, and even the Zig C compiler. all less than 200 MB. meanwhile Visual Studio installing about 10 GB worth. If Microsoft can offer a similar experience then I am interested.
- pjmlp 3y agoYeah, but that isn't systems programming on Windows.
- 38 3y agowhat I want is to have tools to compile C/C++ programs. until microsoft offers a minimal package like this, visual C++ is generally a poor choice for any compilation of C/C++ programs, because of the bloated nature of the current offerings.
