mingw32-make cannot find standard C libraries
If mingw32-make
cannot find standard C libraries, it may be due to a missing or incorrect installation of the MinGW toolchain.
You can try the following steps to resolve the issue:
Verify that MinGW is installed correctly and that the bin directory is in your PATH environment variable. You can check this by opening a terminal and running
gcc --version
org++ --version
to see if the commands are recognized.Check that the required C libraries are installed. In the MinGW installer, you can select the packages you want to install, including the C runtime libraries.
If you have installed MinGW via MSYS2, make sure to run
pacman -Syu
to update the system and thenpacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-toolchain
to install the toolchain.Make sure that the Makefile you are using is correctly configured to include the required libraries. This can usually be done by adding the appropriate
-l
flags to the linker command.If you are building a 32-bit application on a 64-bit system, make sure that the correct version of MinGW is being used. You may need to specify the
-m32
flag to force a 32-bit build.If none of these solutions work, you can try uninstalling and reinstalling MinGW, making sure to follow the installation instructions carefully.
