Your path to ming64 is wrong.

I think you didn’t enter these commands inside the mingw64 shell … at least that’s how the errors look like in this case. I know, because this happened to me too :slight_smile:

Hello,
@paperdigits
My path to ming64 is c drive ,msys64 directory. I tried that also ,but no chance go ahead, see the code below ,I also entered some wrong paths by mistake ,please neglect them.

@ChasingShadows
I tried with the complete path of mingw64 , it is in my c drive, directory “msys64” but still I get the same error. I am attaching the file with top to bottom of shell window ,please look into it and help me. is it something connected with the very first line

/usr/bin/cp: cannot stat ‘C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts’: No such file o r directory

Folder seperators in bash are / not \

@paperdigits thanks for the help , got over the problem of iptcdata download and build issue.
when I went to the next step that is build and install library, i got this error

main.c:19:22: fatal error: langinfo.h: No such file or directory
#include <langinfo.h>

It seems compiling and building our own RT is not such a easy task , Anyhow learning a lot from this and it is exciting and fun and sometimes lot of pain for poor knowledge of this process.
Thanks for any help

@gaaned92 I’m trying to build RT 32-bits, but faces the same problem than @KVSSetty here above, i.e. can’t build libiptcdata because it can’t find langinfo.h. IIRC, you managed to build RT 32-bit, so have you faced this problem too - and how did you solved it ?

@Hombre
Last time I built libiptcdata I did not faced this problem so I have no solution now.
I am going to try again, perhaps something changed (new version, new dependencies…)

Is the crash in the configure or make phase?
And how @KVSSetty got over the problem?

Rebuilt IPTC with no problem.

  • you have to build in a mingw32 shell
  • you have to modify the makefile as indicated, unless it crashes

@gaaned92 That’s right, I probably forgot to remove iptc from the SUBDIRS list in Makefile, it’s compiled now, thanks.
