It ships with a small [MinGW-w64](http://mingw-w64.sourceforge.net/) system bundled, which provides tools (such as a C compiler, linker and assembler) that are used by the compiler. ## Building 64-bit Windows programs Releases of GHC since 7.6.1 also provide a 64-bit Windows version for building 64-bit programs on Windows. It ships with a [MinGW-w64](http://mingw-w64.sourceforge.net/) system bundled, which provides tools (such as a C compiler, linker and assembler) that are used by the compiler. ## Building on Windows Build instructions for Windows are incorporated in the [Building Guide](building). In particular, here is how to [set up your Windows system for building GHC](building/preparation/windows).
