Portable GCC

Is there any way to make a portable GCC, e.g. through static linkage and a custom PATH? Portable here would mean that the compiler could be run totally from a flash drive.

I've successfully run GCC from flash drive using chroot. I don't know whether it suits you but it worked for me.

Do you need something for Windows? MSYS is supposed to be pretty portable, although you may have to get clever with its fstab to make it work. Combine that with GCC (I like to use the one from here, but MinGW-w64 includes a perfectly usable GCC) and you should have a portable development environment.

GCC is also included in portable version of DevCPP http://orwelldevcpp.blogspot.de/Octocontrabass wrote:…but MinGW-w64 includes a perfectly usable GCC) and you should have a portable development environment.

MinGW is indeed a good compiler; however, people on this forum have strongly recommended using a cross compiler.

Excuse the terminology. MinGW provides a good compiler.

I specified MSYS because you need it to build a cross compiler.hwg wrote:MinGW is indeed a good compiler; however, people on this forum have strongly recommended using a cross compiler.
