win32 go build fail.

[Peakchen]

windows_386\link.exe: running gcc failed: exit status 1 go-link-162727447\000000.o: file not recognized: File format not recognized collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status

how to resolve this problem and cgo?

[mattn]

Are you doing cross-compilation?

[Peakchen]

Are you doing cross-compilation?

first，i do cross-compilation at win64，but it fail，then i try at win32，Suddenly this problem occurs. please help me resolve that, I have been pinning this issue for several days.

env: mingw or tdm 5.1, go version go1.12.7 windows/386.

[mattn]

You need to use 32bit C compiler.

[Peakchen]

You need to use 32bit C compiler.

the third reply what has used 32bit compiler about mingw or tdm

[mattn]

Could you please paste result of go build -x ?

[Peakchen]

now，i only compile success by single go file，what is main. go. others is can not.

[rittneje]

@Peakchen Can you please post the exact go build command you are running, as well as the output of running go env and where gcc?

[rittneje]

@ysllyfe Can you share the specific go build command you are running, and the output you are seeing?

Does the issue persist with go build -a? Can you also try with go build -x and share the output from that?
