Can't install library with vcpkg using MinGW compiler

I'm trying to install the tbb library on Windows using the MinGW C++ compiler g++ and the vcpkg package manager. However, running .\vcpkg install tbb --triplet=x64-mingw-static --host-triplet=x64-mingw-static gives the following error:

The C++ compiler "C:/msys64/mingw64/bin/x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++.exe" is not able to compile a simple test program.

Does anybody have an idea how to solve this issue?

The main error seems to be

Das System kann den angegebenen Pfad nicht finden.

which literally translates to

The system cannot find the path specified.

However, I don't know which path this is referring to. As shown above, the file C:\msys64\mingw64\bin\x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++.exe does exist.

Solution

  • I was able to resolve the question by deleting the following registry entries:

    • HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor\AutoRun
    • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor\AutoRun
