[question] how to move needed binaries (DLL's) to release zip

where located libgcc_s_seh-1.dll, libwinpthread-1.dll, libstdc++-6.dll files to add it to output archive?

where located libgcc_s_seh-1.dll, libwinpthread-1.dll, libstdc++-6.dll files to add it to output archive?

Those files are in $MINGW_PREFIX/bin directory.

thanks !

[Biswa96]

Maybe You know how to add it in github workflow? just 'cp $MINGW_PREFIX\bin\filename \target_dir\ ?'

It depends on the project. If you need just those three files cp command would be enough. Here are some projects which uses binaries from msys2 packages https://www.msys2.org/docs/who-is-using-msys2/

cp command would be enough

cp $MINGW_PREFIX\bin\libgcc_s_seh-1.dll build\win64_cmake_release\

 ```|  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 | Cannot find path 'D:\bin\libgcc_s_seh-1.dll' because it does not exist.```

 run: >
          mkdir -p build\win64_cmake_release

          cp $MINGW_PREFIX\bin\libgcc_s_seh-1.dll build\win64_cmake_release\

          ...

[Biswa96]

I can not provide any suggestion without knowing the project or build environment.

@Biswa96 missing prefix in env, solved

    env: 
      MINGW64_PREFIX: "C:/msys64/mingw64"
      GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
    steps:
      - name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v2
        with:
          fetch-depth: 0
          submodules: true
      - name: Setup MinGW GCC
        uses: msys2/setup-msys2@v2
        with:
          update: true
          location: C:/
          install: >-
            mingw-w64-x86_64-binutils

          cp ${{env.MINGW64_PREFIX}}\bin\libgcc_s_seh-1.dll build\win64_cmake_release\

          cp ${{env.MINGW64_PREFIX}}\bin\libwinpthread-1.dll build\win64_cmake_release\

          cp ${{env.MINGW64_PREFIX}}\bin\libstdc++-6.dll build\win64_cmake_release\

          cp glew\bin\Release\x64\glew32.dll build\win64_cmake_release\

Now it works)

@Biswa96 Thanks for help!

It works but I got error when try to run executable:

---------------------------
release.exe - Entry Point Not Found
---------------------------
The entry point for the procedure _ZNKSt25__codecvt_utf8_utf16_baseIwE10do_unshiftER9_MbstatetPcS3_RS3_ was not found in the DLL library C:\Users\Karaulov\Downloads\win7_x64_gcc_release\libstdc++-6.dll.
---------------------------
OK

Please try to change the default shell to shell: msys2 {0}, see https://www.msys2.org/docs/ci/

Also, it is not required to set MINGW64_PREFIX. The MINGW_PREFIX variable is set automatically if you are using the above suggestion.

[UnrealKaraulov]

@Biswa96 very strange, but after adding 'shell: msys2 {0}' i got error at start: 'cmake command not found' :)

[Biswa96]

i got error at start: 'cmake command not found' :)

You have to install cmake in msys2. Previously, you were using default cmake in GitHub runners.

You have to install cmake in msys2. Previously, you were using default cmake in GitHub runners.

But without command 'shell: msys2 {0}' cmake found and program compiled without error (except missing functions in dll) , maybe this shell command loss cmake in PATH variables ?

@Biswa96 thanks this issue solved! instead of

      - name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v2
        with:
          fetch-depth: 0
          submodules: true
      - name: Setup MinGW GCC
        uses: msys2/setup-msys2@v2
        with:
          update: true
          location: C:/
          install: >-
            mingw-w64-x86_64-binutils

added

      - name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - name: Setup MinGW GCC
        uses: msys2/setup-msys2@v2
        with:
          release: false
          msystem: mingw64
          path-type: inherit
          update: true
          cache: false
          location: C:/
          pacboy: cc:p cmake:p ninja:p lld:p
          install: >-
            mingw-w64-x86_64-binutils

Also mingw64 missing std::quick_exit(0), I replaced this function to another exit function.

Now compiled success!
