I ran the mingw-get GUI and it showed me that the installed > version = current version = gcc 6.3.0-1. > It seems that the file originally called profile.xml (in /MinGW/var/lib/mingw-get/data/) was renamed as defaults.xml in later versions of mingw-get, but the current mingw-get reads profile.xml even if defaults.xml exists. I edited my profile.xml like this: <!-- <repository uri="http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/%F.xml.lzma?download"> --> <repository uri="http://osdn.net/dl/mingw/%F.xml.lzma"> and mingw-get now tells me that the installed gcc version is 6.3 and the repository version is 8.2.
