Mingw and c++ vectors [duplicate] - c++

Question

the procedure entry point __gxx_personality_v0 could not be located

Closed 4 years ago.
I am writing a simple small program in c++ to test vectors. The following code works well and output hello to the cmd.
The steps I follow are:
g++ filename.cpp to compile
.\a.exe to run
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
cout<<"hello";
return 0;
}
However, when I declare a vector, the hello does not show and the program seem to not working at all.
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
using namespace std;
vector<int> a;
int main()
{
cout<<"hello";
return 0;
}
I do not get any error message while compiling. But I do get a certain message about no entry point when I run outside the cmd.
The procedure entry point _ZNKSt9baisc_ioslcSt11char_traitslcEEcvbEv
could not be located in the dynamic link library
I searched on google and stack overflow but could not find a solution to my problem.
For anyone who would read this later on, I had something called gtk installed and defined in the environment path variables and it seems like it was colliding with MinGW. Everything runs smooth by writing:
g++ ex1.cpp -static-libgcc -static -static-libstdc++

The problem is likely caused by the fact that the DLL containing the function the program is trying to access (_ZNKSt9baisc_ioslcSt11char_traitslcEEcvbEv here) is not found by Windows when it tries to execute your program.
There are a few solutions for this :
Static linking with the C++ library (--static-libstdc++) (this will directly link the C++ library into your executable (this may make your program bigger))
Putting the libstdc++ dll in your program folder (you should be able to find it somewhere in the compiler install folder)
Adding the path to the libstdc++ dll to the global PATH variable (If you want to know more about adding to the PATH, see here) so that the dll will be found for any executable running on your computer
Doing any of these should fix your problem.
