diff can't load libsigsegv-2.dll

[karen-arutyunov]

After MSYS2 upgrade trying to run diff fails like this:

C:/msys64/mingw64/bin/diff.exe: error while loading shared libraries: libsigsegv-2.dll: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

It seems that mingw-w64-x86_64-diffutils 3.6-1 package lacks dependency on mingw-w64-x86_64-libsigsegv.

The same is about i686 architecture.

I cannot repro this - can you elaborate?

Also it works in cmd prompt:

Try after pacman -R mingw-w64-i686-libsigsegv

[peterbud]

I don't have libsigsegvinstalled:

$ pacman -Ss libsigs
mingw32/mingw-w64-i686-libsigsegv 2.12-1
    Page fault detection library (mingw-w64)
mingw64/mingw-w64-x86_64-libsigsegv 2.12-1
    Page fault detection library (mingw-w64)

@peterbud do you install diffutils from repo or it your own builded?

[peterbud]

I see, that was the problem:

• Using the repo version (3.6-1), indeed I got the same error message
• I have had no problem with the version I have just built (3.6-2), using the new flag as @karen-arutyunov suggested.
