sanitycheckcpp_cross.exe needs libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll

[mishka88ru]

Hello.

It is very easy to avoid the error below: just manually copy libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll into the meson-private directory (PATH tuning will also help, I believe). But for a better user experience I suggest to consider building sanitycheckcpp_cross.exe with -static-libgcc and/or -static-libstdc++.

0009:err:module:import_dll Library libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll (which is needed by L"Z:\\home\\mishka\\my-library\\build\\release\\windows-mingw_x86\\meson-private\\sanitycheckcpp_cross.exe") not found

Same here, Fedora mingw32 doesn't does contain libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll. Disabling the sanity check is also possible.

Merge this lines into your cross file

[properties] skip_sanity_check = true

It does, actually: /usr/i686-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/bin/libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll

Just meson doesn't pass some environment correctly or something I guess?

MinGW32/64 ships /usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/bin/libgcc_s_seh-1.dll, the sanity check runs only fine with MinGW64:

... but the MinGW64 build uses x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++ sanitycheckcpp.cc -o sanitycheckcpp_cross.exe -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 (= non-static) and it works. So I guess it's a problem with the OS. I'm sure that MinGW32 worked in the past, at least in Oct 2018, and probably Jan 2020 (own Git logs).
