I see the following files installed by `brew install mingw-w64`. I don't quite understand what `i686-w64-mingw32` and `x86_64-w64-mingw32` means. Could anybody let me know?
Welcome to the world of GNU. These are cpu-vendor-os triplets (yes, mingw32 is not an OS, welcome to the club) that identify the toolchain. i686 is 32-bit, x86_64 is 64-bit - that's all you need to now with regards to mingw. A bit more info can be found on the wiki[0], or just by googling.
If I want to compile windows binaries on Mac OS from the following .c and .cpp files, could anybody let me know what commands I should use?
If you are _this_ inexperienced, consider using a build system. Meson[1] and CMake[2] are all the rage for C/C++ these days. A buildsystem will invoke the toolchain for you, no need to muck around with command lines.
