MinGW - Minimalist GNU for Windows

A native Windows port of the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC)

MinGW is a native Windows port of the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC), with freely distributable import libraries and header files for building native Windows applications. It includes extensions to the MSVC runtime to support C99 functionality. All of MinGW's software will execute on the 64bit Windows platform.

MinGW provides you with a minimalist development environment and a complete Open Source programming tool set, which is suitable for the development of native MS-Windows applications, which do not depend on any 3rd-party C-Runtime DLLs*.

MinGW compilers provide access to the functionality of the Microsoft C runtime, and some language-specific runtimes. It is worth noting that MinGW, being minimalist, does not, and never will, attempt to provide a POSIX runtime environment for POSIX application deployment on MS-Windows. If you need POSIX application deployment on this platform, please consider Cygwin instead.

*It does depend on a number of DLLs provided by Microsoft themselves, as components of the operating system; most notable among these is MSVCRT.DLL, the Microsoft C runtime library. Additionally, threaded applications must ship with a freely distributable thread support DLL, provided as part of MinGW itself.

Key features of MinGW include:

• A port of the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC), including C, C++, ADA and Fortran compilers.
• GNU Binutils for Windows (assembler, linker, archive manager).
• A command-line installer, with optional GUI front-end, (mingw-get) for MinGW and MSYS deployment on MS-Windows.
• A GUI first-time setup tool (mingw-get-setup), to get you up and running with mingw-get.

VLC media player

VLC Media Player is the most popular and robust multi format, free media player available. The open source media player was publically released in 2001 by non-profit organization VideoLAN Project. VLC Media Player quickly became very popular thanks to its versatile multi-format playback capabilities. It was aided by compatibility and codec issues which rendered competitor media players like QuickTime, Windows and Real Media Player useless to many popular video and music file formats. The easy, basic UI and huge array of customization options have enforced VLC Media Player’s position at the top of the free media players.

Flexibility

VLC plays almost any video or music file format you can find. At its launch this was a revolution compared to the default media players most people were using that often crashed or displayed “codecs missing” error messages when trying to play media files. VLC can play MPEG, AVI, RMBV, FLV, QuickTime, WMV, MP4 and a shed load of other media file formats. For a full list of compatible file formats please click here. Not only can VLC Media Player handle loads of different formats, VLC can also playback partial or incomplete media files so you can preview downloads before they finish.

Easy to Use

Advanced Options

Don’t let VLC Media Player’s simple interface fool you, within the playback, audio, video, tools and view tabs are a huge variety of player options. You can play with synchronization settings including a graphic equalizer with multiple pre-sets, overlays, special effects, AtmoLight video effects, audio spatializer and customizable range compression settings. You can even add subtitles to videos by adding the SRT file to the video’s folder.

Summary

VLC Media Player is quite simply the most versatile, stable and high quality free media player available. It has rightly dominated the free media player market for over 10 years now and looks like it may for another 10 years thanks to the constant development and improvement by VideoLAN Org.

Notepad++ Plugin Manager

Hosting project for Notepad++ Plugin Manager

• Install all supplemental files as well as the plugin file itself (e.g. config, doc, extra libraries).
• Automatic installation of the correct version (ANSI/Unicode) for your Notepad++.
• Validation of DLLs copied, against a central list of valid files. This slightly mitigates the risk of automatically downloading updates.
