I don't know why you insist mingw isn't emulating Unix. How else would
you describe software that allows Unix source to run on Windows with
little or no change?Would you ever use mingw to create software that runs only on Windows
and never on Unix?As far I know, mingw isn't supposed to emulate unix. It's a free gcc implementation for Windows with its own header files to support the win32 API and POSIX.1.
MSYS on the other hand emulates the BASH shell and script functionality.
Yes, If I want to write free software with a free c++ compiler to Windows, I would certainly choose mingw.
Here some examples to use gcc:
