Getting GCC Working on Windows
« on: January 26, 2012, 12:18:22 pm »
I am running Windows 7 Home Premuim 64 bit

When trying to compile any program with mingw's gcc or g++ I get these errors

Code: [Select]
-------------- Build: Release in File io ---------------

Compiling: Main.cpp

I installed mingw with Code::Blocks with this installer codeblocks-10.05mingw-setup.exe
I have also tried using mingw64 which works fine till I try to run the compiled program. AT which point it says it is missing a library called libgcc_s_sjilj-1.dll

Does anyone know how I can get gcc working so I can compile my programs on windows?

EDIT: I got mingw64 working by adding the lib folder to the path

libgcc_s_sjilj-1.dll should present somewhere in the mingw folder (bin/ probably). Just copy that to the folder of your compiled executable and it should work. If it doesn't you can try grabbing it from the net (no guarantees if it works)
