Open CASCADE Technology 7.0.0.rc can be built using MinGW-w64 on Windows platform.
MinGW is a minimalistic development environment for developing native Windows applications based on GCC. Project MinGW-w64 is its fork aimed to support 64-bit target and new APIs.
GCC (GNU Compiler Collection) remains a main compiler on Linux platform, but is a second-class citizen on platforms like Windows (with dominating msvc - a C/C++ compiler from Microsoft Visual Studio) or OS X (where Apple has pushed developers towards clang).
