#219 msgfmt.exe: error while loading shared libraries: libgettextlib-0-19-6.dll

[Erwin Waterlander]

Hi,

After installing the gettext package I got the following error with the msgfmt command:

$ msgfmt
C:/msys2/msys64_gcc5/mingw64/bin/msgfmt.exe: error while loading shared
libraries: libgettextlib-0-19-6.dll: cannot open shared object file: No
such file or directory

It appears that the missing package is expat.

libgettextsrc-0-19-6.dll depends on libexpat-1.dll, specifically these symbols:
1 XML_ErrorString
10 XML_GetCurrentColumnNumber
11 XML_GetCurrentLineNumber
12 XML_GetErrorCode
13 XML_GetFeatureList
21 XML_Parse
23 XML_ParserCreate
26 XML_ParserFree
38 XML_SetElementHandler

This problem is in both 32 and 64 bit mingw.

regards,

Erwin
