Hello,

i am trying to use your package (by the way, thanks you for sharing !) but i have the following error when building:

github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3

exec: "FR": executable file not found in %PATH%

Do you know what i am missing ?

Hello,

I faced a similar issue with another go library (go-sdl2), and I found a cause for it :
When I run a go build -v -work -x -n, I can see that the library use cgo, which in turn call the C compilation command, by using FR instead of gcc.

FR -I "C:\\Users\\me\\Documents\\Projects\\src\\github.com\\veandco\\go-sdl2\\sdl" -m64 -mthreads ...

I'm still analysing why the cgo executable will change the executable's name, but as a workaround, you can create a copy of your gcc.exe file in your MinGW\bin directory, and rename it FR.exe (ugly, but do the job).

I think that this issue is more related to the use of cgo with MinGW.

Hope that will helps.

Hi !

I've got some news for you :)

Your issue is not related to go-sqlite3 but to your Windows/minGW installation. If you check the value of both %CC% and %GCC% in your console, you will probably see that one of those is set to FR.

cgo will use them if they're sets, or use gcc if not (you can see the explanation in this issue : veandco/go-sdl2#317 ).

So you can just unset those environnment vars for fixing this issue.

Hope that will helps.
