Hey there! I’m fairly new to the compiling scene. I have been experiencing the issue above. Any help would be gladly appreciated! :blush:

2

same error i got while compiling so struck with it

3

I don’t know how to fix it but the issue is the compiler can’t find the math.h library/header file or it is not installed

4

I know this is resolved. But for others in the future that are having problems at this step, check to see if there is a “mingw” folder in your C:\Program Files directory. That’s what was my problem.

I uninstalled it from my computer (you can find an “Uninstall” exe in the folder). But you can probably follow the instructions in the Install.md or remove it from your SYSTEM PATH.

Good luck

5

This should be enough, you don’t need to completely uninstall MinGW to keep it from messing with Aseprite.

6

And how do we remove it? Do we need to enter the environment variable settings?

7

Yes. In System Properties > Advanced, click “Environment Variables…”. There, edit the “Path” variable, select the entry for MinGW and Delete it.

8

hello. On my computer, only the Git installation folder and the Python installation folder have information about MinGw. Do you need to delete it? I also got this error in the last step, other steps are normal
