  • Did you ever find a solution with GCC 4.9? I would like one too. If not, maybe you can roll your own using CodeBlocks (see my answer below) and wiki.codeblocks.org/… to install 4.9 separately? Commented Jun 4, 2015 at 14:00
  • Btw, if you go the Cygwin route, see cygwin.wikia.com/wiki/How_to_install_a_newer_version_of_GCC Commented Jun 4, 2015 at 14:01
  • If you did find a solution, please post it here, in order to help others. Thanks. Commented Jan 14, 2016 at 9:20

    I didn't. Many IDEs with portable versions still ship with an outdated compiler (Code::Blocks) or don't support UTF-8 (Dev-C++). Commented Jan 14, 2016 at 14:48
  • Thanks for letting us know (+1). You might even want to post that as an answer. Was Netbeans plus Cygwin really out of the question? You might have to compile GCC from source, but this page might help cygwin.wikia.com/wiki/How_to_install_a_newer_version_of_GCC Commented Jan 14, 2016 at 15:38
