mingw-w64-builds | Windows builds of popular libraries | Form library

I'm trying to read the minimum value from a range in a big chunk of memory, I want to provide the memory range to a function and then find the minimum element. I need to do it this way because I can not change the code or use dynamic memory allocation.

I'm using MinGW-W64-builds-4.3.5 in Win 7.

I saw an example in http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/algorithm/min_element/ but they are using C style arrays which I know I can use as pointers to memory addresses and perform pointer arithmetic to indicate the end of the range.

I want to introduce Gaussian noise to a signal. I looked into several examples of how to use C++11 std::normal_distribution and I was able to achieve the expected random result using this example: https://stackoverflow.com/a/32890945/3424478

Using the following: Python version 2.7.13, Scons version 2.5.1, Visual Studio 2012 express is installed, but I am not planning to use it. Code blocks and MinGW-W64-builds-4.3 are installed.

Using Scons to compile C++ code (networkit toolkit) under windows. Scons adds "/Fo" as compile option. This option works only with VC++ and not with MinGW which I am trying to use. Why does Scons add this flag? I have checked my Sconstruct and the reference build.conf files and cannot seem to find this flag getting set explicitly.

My Sconstruct file is here(http://www103.zippyshare.com/v/jSrMapGz/file.html) and the build.conf file is here (http://www11.zippyshare.com/v/aXGQA5b5/file.html).

I want to get the compilation done with "-o" flag for g++, which is the equivalent of /Fo flag for VC++. I just cant figure out where Scons is picking this flag from :(

I am a novice with python and scons. I typically use VC++ 2012 but have to use networkit toolkit for a project, but it uses C11 features. And I cannot update to VC++ 2015/2017 yet.

Thanks for your help!
