reproducible using mingw from chocolately. Tell me about your story to fix this exit status 2.

Recently I've also been facing the problem: runtime/cgo: C:\Program Files\Go\pkg\tool\windows_amd64\cgo.exe: exit status 2. You probably need to take the following steps:

1. Install TDM-GCC compiler from GitHub repo (go to releases and download exe installer) or from TDM-GCC site.

2. Open command line and execute:

go env GOENV

This command returns you a path to env file.

3. Open env file in any text editor.

4. Execute in command line:

where gcc

Copy the path of TDM-GCC compiler.

5. Set CC parameter in env file to the path of TDM-GCC compiler.

This worked for me.

It's also possible to use SWIG compiler to compile C/C++ code in golang apps, but I haven't tested it yet.
