exec: "gcc": executable file not found in %PATH% when trying go build

Solution 1:

gcc (the GNU Compiler Collection) provides a C compiler. On Windows, install TDM-GCC. The github.com/miekg/pkcs11 package uses cgo. Cgo enables the creation of Go packages that call C code.

Solution 2:

If you are running Ubuntu do:

apt-get install build-essential

This solved the problem. It installs the gcc/g++ compilers and libraries.

Solution 3:

1) Install .exe from > https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/

1.2) ! use x86_64 architecture

2) Add C:\Program Files\mingw-w64\x86_64-8.1.0-posix-seh-rt_v6-rev0\mingw64\bin to PATH in User Variables and in System Variables. For me it works.

! To edit Path variable press Windows key, type 'path', choose 'Edit the system environment variables', click 'Environment Variables', find Path variable in System variables and in User variables then edit.

Solution 4:

I also encountered this message, but in my case, it was missing gcc.exe. I used choco and installed mingw, and then it worked.

details:

download choco
choco install mingw -y
check: gcc -v

Solution 5:

On Windows install http://tdm-gcc.tdragon.net/download, that is all.
