Compiling and installing Hugo from source on Windows is getting a gcc error and fails

[cmpsoares91]

Hello,

I'm trying to install Hugo from source on a Windows machine where I already have Git and Go installed, where I used the instructions from the docs:

mkdir $HOME/src
cd $HOME/src
git clone https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo.git
cd hugo
go install --tags extended

However, I get the following error:

C:\tools\Hugo\src (master -> origin)
λ go install --tags extended
# github.com/wellington/go-libsass/libs
exec: "gcc": executable file not found in %PATH%

What should I do as a workaround?

Thank you for the support,
Carlos Soares

I'm looking into it as well and it seems to be related with this issue: wellington/go-libsass#37

I'll investigate and maybe we need to add it to the docs later right?
