[Dev-C++] Error in MinGW

[Noorez K. <lor...@ho...>]

I have installed the MinGW using the installer and installed the gcc-java c=
omponent with it. When I tried to compile a test program I received this er=
ror:
=20
C:\MinGW\bin\..\lib\gcc\mingw32\3.4.2\..\..\..\..\mingw32\bin\ld.exe: canno=
t find -liconvcollect2: ld returned 1 exit status
=20
Can someone tell me how to fix this?

-liconv specifies a library which apparently you don't have. the library
is iconv and consists of routines to convert character encodings. It's
apparently not a part of the standard MinGW distribution. You have to
install it separately. Take a look at the following page where among
other things the procedure is described:

Good Luck!
