Title: libintl-8.dll is missing!!
Post by: PeterDeFord on September 23, 2015, 05:51:31 pm

Hello! I installed CodeBlocks in Windows 8 and when opening the program I get an error that says: "The program can't start because libintl-8.dll is missing from your computer".

The program can still open, but I cannot Build/Compile anything.

Do you have any recommendations to solve this problem?


Regards,
Peter De Ford

Fix your Compiler installation.

To be more clear, I have installed CodeBlocks many times in Windows 8 and 10 using the file: "codeblocks-13.12mingw-setup", but always get the same error!

What happens if you try to build using the command line?
Have you read this http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=FAQ-Compiling_%28errors%29#Q:_How_do_I_troubleshoot_a_compiler_problem.3F or any other FAQ entry?

Thanks! I just copied libintl-8.dll from:

C:\Program Files (x86)\CodeBlocks\MinGW\bin

into

C:\MinGW\bin

and it worked!

Which mingw installation are you using? I gues the one from cb? If yes, just switch your system path to that one instead of copying.

This means that you have a separate installation of MinGW or TDM compiler.
And you're mixing them. Keep in mind that old versions of the compiler have the *:/mingw hardcoded, so it is generally advised to not put any mingw compiler in such a path.
