GCC 5.1 does have the std::codecvt_utf8, so I assume you're not using the -std=c++11 option. > I have looked at the page > https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/locale/codecvt_utf8 and they have a > list of compilers that work with their code. > > I tried some of the gcc versions and found that GCC 5.2 (C++11) works OK > with it. No it doesn't, the std::codecvt_utf8 in GCC 5.2 is identical to the one in GCC 5.1 and it doesn't handle UCS2 correctly (see https://gcc.gnu.org/PR79980 for details). The oldest versions to compile that code correctly are GCC 5.5 or anything >= 6.4 > Therefore, my question for you is: > > Where do I get a GCC 5.2 (C++11) download from you guys? You don't, sorry. The GCC project does not provide precompiled binaries. https://gcc.gnu.org/install/binaries.html I suggest you try to get a newer version of the mingw port of GCC, which you can get from the mingw project.
