w32.a(_all.o): malformed pe file: No error

[bbigras]

I only have the problem on 64-bits. It's fine on Xp 32-bits.

go version go1.3 windows/amd64 Windows 7 64-bits

Maybe it's a Golang bug.

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "github.com/AllenDang/w32"
)

func main() {
    fmt.Println(w32.ANSI_CHARSET)
}

You need rebuild w32.a In source w32 directory ...github.com\AllenDang\w32 type:

go build go install

[bbigras]

I still have the problem. Note that it's using w32.a from gopath\pkg instead of temp.

d:\>cd %GOPATH%\src\github.com\AllenDang\w32
d:\Dev\go\gopath\src\github.com\AllenDang\w32>go build
d:\Dev\go\gopath\src\github.com\AllenDang\w32>go install

Try delete w32.a and again build. Show output 'go env'

[bbigras]

I deleted w32.a and tried again without success.

My output 'go env' same as your except GOPATH. I have windows 7 64-bit too. Show output 'go build -x'

You have another go :-). Try reinstall go. I have no idea. May be your w32.a for x86 arch? My w32.a start with:

__.PKGDEF       0           0     0     644     108696    `
go object windows amd64 go1.3 X:precisestack

$$
package w32

[bbigras]

My w32.a starts with:

!<arch>
__.PKGDEF       0           0     0     644     109200    `
go object windows amd64 go1.3 X:precisestack

$$
package w32

I'm using gcc version 4.7.1 (tdm64-1) but I'll try the Mingw-builds or Win-builds from http://mingw-w64.sourceforge.net/download.php.

[bbigras]

I don't have the problem anymore with the Win-builds gcc version.

gcc version 4.8.2 (GCC)

Sorry for the noise.
