If you are using an ArchLinux based distro, I suggest looking into MSys2 an CygWin fork.

ArchLinux uses the pacman package manager and if you use the some package manager on both Linux and Windows it would be easier to maintain.
But, not really sure installing MSys2 is worth it if you are not using the pacman package manager under Linux.

Thanks for that insight. I will look into getting MinGW.

There is alot of info on the web, so it can be overwhelming and difficult to make the correct choice. I guess I just picked somewhere to start and I continue to learn more as I go along.

Hi,
You always should start with the official resources (documentation, forum, ML).
If everything above fails - go to google.

This has to be "alpha and omega" of everything - not just Software Development.

Thank you.

I thought I did that, once I decided to go with wxWidgets and code::blocks, but to get to that choice I needed to do extensive research first.

Thanks for all the help. It is truly appreciated.
