I am trying to update my windows application that uses Chilkat v9.5.0.80 to the latest version v9.5.0.88
I am trying to compile and execute the example1 application.
Go version is 1.17
I followed the how-to and managed to compile chilkat.a library
I downloaded the native library as following:
v9.5.0.88 • 29-Aug-2021 • sha256: e4a46ab3e971786f791f0923e22c9f57005047224477035296a8c3a3f49d5436
Windows 64-bit tdm-64-5.1.0 (dw2) C Static Lib
GCC version is the following:
PS C:\TDM-GCC-64\bin> gcc -v
Using built-in specs.
COLLECT_GCC=C:\TDM-GCC-64\bin\gcc.exe
COLLECT_LTO_WRAPPER=C:/TDM-GCC-64/bin/../libexec/gcc/x86_64-w64-mingw32/5.1.0/lto-wrapper.exe

gcc version 5.1.0 (tdm64-1)
Then I compile the example1 application and when I execute it I get this runtime error (details taken from Windows event log):

I tried to compile example1 application with static linking in order to remove stdc++ dependency as per following instructions: https://cknotes.com/go-language-static-linking-to-remove-libstdc-requirement/
Unfortunately I get another error at runtime:

I managed to solve the issue by uninstalling old TDM-GCC and installing MinGW 64 version x86_64-8.1.0-posix-seh-rt_v6-rev0.
Then I repeated the whole process with this native library:
v9.5.0.88 • 29-Aug-2021 • sha256: 8e6c56ee7c13f86f95d18b41b6fe7df305a040f74dade3526407f1099122ac8d
MinGW-w64 GCC-8.1.0 x86_64-8.1.0-posix-seh C Static Lib
Everything is now working as expected
