Okay, perhaps that documentation should be updated to reflect that? This is
from the community wiki:
https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Build_from_source/Windows

"Currently, Craft supports both the MinGW and Microsoft Visual Studio
(msvc) compiler. While MinGW can be installed by Craft, Visual Studio
<https://www.visualstudio.com/> must be installed independently by the
user."

Thanks for the link Aleix, I'll jump on that mailing list too.

I assume then "Craft supports both Mingw..." means mingw is supported on
unix-like platforms?

I'm considering adopting kdevelop as my "Standard IDE". The WinLua Compiler (WLC) is a binary installation of Martin Storsjo's excellent llvm-mingw package found here (https://github.com/mstorsjo/llvm-mingw).
