title: C++ how to sleep?
body: <p>I am a novice in <code>C++</code> and I am struggling to make my program to wait a few minutes before executing a function.</p>
  
  <p>I know there are lots of topics about it but I have a problem with my compiler. I can't seem to use the boost library nor the thread library. And since I can't use the thread library, I can't use the chrono library either.</p>
  
  <p>I am using <code>GNU GCC</code> Compiler. I have <code>MinGW</code> installed. Is it outdated or something? What is the best compiler to code in <code>C++</code>?
  My OS is <code>Windows</code>.</p>
