Could I possibly leverage this package then to overcome errors met by the regular Ubuntu GCC? Specifically, I didn't understand what the following Debian page statement meant: "This package contains the C++ compiler, supporting cross-compiling to 32-bit MinGW-w64 targets". But just to be sure, why does Debian and Ubuntu have packages on mingw-w64, such as the one noted here: Debian - Details of package g++-mingw-w64-i686 in stretch or here Ubuntu – Details of package gcc-mingw-w64-x86-64 in bionic. If you're inside wsl2, then you have a real Linux OS and can just use the regular gcc without any further faffing about.Yeah I think I asked quite illiterate a question.


Mingw-w64 is what you use if you want to use gcc within windows itself.
