[Mingw-users] Cannot find crt2.o: No such file or directory

[DAVENPORT, M. <mda...@co...>]

I've recently downloaded and extracted files for MinGW 5.3.0.2 and I am
trying to compile a simple hello world program to test it. It fails with
the error mentioned I the subject heading of this email. It cannot find
crt2.o. I also had trouble compiling another program and it said it couldnt
find wchar.h. Am I missing some necessary packages or have I done something
else wrong? Please advise.
