MinGW “The procedure entry point libintl_setlocale could not be located …”

Question

I have problem building a project under Windows 7 64bit. I already looked similar questions on SO, but didn't found proper solution. When I run:

cmake -v -G "MSYS Makefiles" CMakeLists.txt

it gives me following output:

> -- The C compiler identification is unknown
-- Check for working C compiler: c:/MinGW/bin/gcc.exe
-- Check for working C compiler: c:/MinGW/bin/gcc.exe -- broken
CMake Error at C:/Program Files (x86)/CMake/share/cmake-3.0/Modules/CMakeTestCCo
mpiler.cmake:61 (message):
  The C compiler "c:/MinGW/bin/gcc.exe" is not able to compile a simple test
  program.

  It fails with the following output:

Also I get next error message 3 times, during compilation attempt, it says "The procedure entry point libintl_setlocale could not be located in the library libintl-8.dll"

I installed and reinstalled mingw and investigated my path variable, but still have no solution. Any ideas, where I am wrong?

Answer 1

I just found the answer to this: I had another libintl-8.dll in my path.

Do this from the command line:

where libintl-8.dll

Then rename ALL of them except the one in the MinGW tree.

If that fails, then a reinstall of your MinGW tree may be needed. Good luck.

Answer 2

Drop libintl-8.dll in System32/SysWOW64 and it should work fine.
