Is there any way I can make my Fyne application in go run by just following the steps in windows 10 because is throwing gcc executable not found

I am trying to build GUI application using Go Fyne Framework, I followed the guidelines that the docs provide, but I am missing something what it seems like is gcc but that doesn't have to be a problem bc I have downloaded and installed the msys2 mingx64 I am confused please help the error is below.

Solution

  • Mingw64 does not install gcc unless you ask it to. There are steps for the unsure at https://developer.fyne.io/started/
