Can't download MinGW from Sourceforge

问题:

I wanted download MinGW C and C++ gnu compiler from Sourceforge using mingw-get-inst-20120421.exe. It gives me an option to download pre-packaged repository or latest one. When I am behind Kaspersky AV firewall latest one fails. Pre- one fails in any case. In any case they don't install gcc.exe at all. This is the image of my mingw/bin directory:

回答1:

The prdownloads.sourceforge.net URL often does not work.

My solution was to edit the file in at var\lib\mingw-get\data\profile.xml and change the <repository uri="...> line to:

<repository uri="http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/Installer/mingw-get/catalogue/%F.xml.lzma/download">


回答2:

According to this issue thread this may be an issue of a SourceForge. I've tried to install mingw using mingw-get today and the problem still exists.



回答3:

I had a similar issue when trying to install MinGW on an AWS Windows instance with the GUI and CLI installer. I tried the above "repository uri" setting but that didn't help me.

It ended up being Internet Explorer's "Enhanced" security. Once I added https://*.sourceforge.net to my trusted sites it worked.



回答4:

Try installing it from osdn.net
Here's the link: https://osdn.net/projects/mingw/releases/
It's same as sourceforge but was able to connect and download
worked for me and my friends!



回答5:

run the minGW setup as administrator, this solved my problem
