Ensure the correct one is used. GCC is recommended but is only avalable for x86_64 at this time. On ARM64 the only choice is Clang which has problems described in errata below.
cpuminer-opt can now be compiled on Windows, see Compiling section below.
#### Windows integration, optional
It's possible to run cpuminer-opt from a Windows command prompt or Powershell using DOS syntax by adding MSYS2 to the system Path environment variable, otherwise it can only run from an MSYS2 terminal. FYI: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6951938/libgmp-10-dll-is-missing
If Windows tools are preferred cpuminer-opt can be downloaded to the Windows Documents folder and accessed from MSYS2 terminal using the path `/c/users/[USER]/documents`.
The MSYS2 home directory can be accessed from Windows with `C:\msys2\home\[USER]`.
Notepad++ and 7zip are useful Windows programs with good support for Linux file formats.

cpuminer-opt can now be compiled on Windows, see Compiling cpuminer-opt below.
#### Errata
* CPU temperature and frequency reports are not supported on Windows.
* Windows on ARM64 can only be compiled with Clang at this time resulting in an unstable build that may crash.
* Windows on ARM64 may result in cpuminer-opt segfault when starting up. Add `-DARM_WIN_HACK` to CFLAGS to workaround it. This workaround may or may not work and may or may not be necessary.
