Where Can I Get libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll?
The programme I have written uses SFML but fails when run because libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll is missing. I'm using tdm-gcc and can't find the file anywhere on my computer and re-install doesn't help and a simple hello world programm works fine so I'm not sure why it needs this dll.
Which mingw package can this be found in? I've had a search on the site but cant find it. Apologies if I have just missed an obvious search result but this is incredibly frustrating! Thanks in advance, ell.
P.S. I'm on 64-bit Windows 7 by the way
EDIT: Sorry I forgot to mention I had already read the answer to another question with the same problem, but as I have said, I cannot find the file anywhere on my computer, in the bin directory or otherwise. Also, passing -static-libgcc and -static-libstdc++ to the compiler and/or linker gives me unrecognized option '-static-libstdc++'. Sorry for not clarifying that I have read this already. Thank you!
Answer
I believe this is a tdm/gcc compiler issue, rather than a Microsoft Visual Studio setup.
The libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll should be in the compiler's bin directory. You can add this directory to your PATH environment variable for runtime linking, or you can avoid the problem by adding "-static-libgcc -static-libstdc++" to your compiler flags.
If you plan to distribute the executable, the latter probably makes the most sense. If you only plan to run it on your own machine, the changing the PATH environment variable is an attractive option (keeps down the size of the executable).

Based on feedback from Greg Treleaven (see comments below), I'm adding links to:

The latter discussion includes -static-libgcc and -static-libstdc++ linker options.
