Hi,

1. Please run with --trace flag and post the output.
2. Try to run sw in mingw shell (also post output if any error). Try --compiler gcc flags
3. Try to add g++ compiler from mingw to PATH.

2. Try to run sw in mingw shell (also post output if any error). Try --compiler gcc flags

### do you mean command "sw build -compiler=gcc "

3. Try to add g++ compiler from mingw to PATH.

### the path of g++ compiler was already included in Windows environment variables PATH

Thank you.

So, gcc is visible, but there is some other issue.
Need to check it.

### it seems that raw.githubusercontent.com was not existed.

It seems it is blocked in your country.

1. Currently sw requires VS2022 or build tools for its own work. Known limitation. Please install it.
2. Please try attached binary, I've updated some code bits for gcc to work. (Rename to sw.exe and replaces yours.)
3. Sw packages will probably have many errors when built with gcc on windows. You can still report those issue right in this issue.
