how to uninstall MinGW and make cygwin 'make' as deafult make program with gcc 3.8.1
cygwin, mingw, uninstallation
Solution
Answer 1:
- if you have used an installer, uninstall it through program manager
- Remove your MinGW folder (eg. `C:/MinGW`)
- Make sure there's no MinGW path left in `PATH` environment variable
If you haven't used an installer, you can skip 1., but if you have, you should check 2. and 3. manually.
Answer 2:
Do you use an IDE? If yes you can specify your make / gcc there. You can set an absolute path to the correct program too.
