You should uncomment and fix #include <algorithm>, (without the .h) which is where std::min is declared.

This has absolutely nothing to do with MinGW or GCC or Windows, this is standard C++ stuff. If you hit any other errors like this, search for the missing identifier on http://en.cppreference.com/w/.

Also: use <cmath> and <cstdio>, and avoid malloc and friends, use new/new[] and delete/delete[] instead.
