Installation and Building

I am using mingw-w64 in my projects, if I install opencascade-7.5.0-vc14-64.exe is there will be a problem?
Is it compatible with only Visual Studio?

Note: I build opencascade with mingw-w64 before it works perfect this just a curiosity.

msvc and gcc compilers use incompatible ABI for C++ symbols, so that these DLLs cannot be intermixed.

DLLs produced by Visual Studio 2015 can be linked with application built by Visual Studio 2015/2017/2019 (vc140/vc141/vc142) as they use the compatible C++ CRT (vc14).
