Hi,

I have a Windows gtk program that I build in an msys2 environment, and 
the program itself uses some msys2 utilities. I copy the ones I need 
into the C:\program files\myprogram\bin with the idea that I don't have 
to install all of msys2 to run the program. In my program I spawn the 
command tar -czf

Tar breaks because it cannot find gzip.

Same thing happens when I run tar from a cmd command line:

C:\>tar -czf C:\Users\me\backup.tar.gz .
tar (grandchild): gzip: Cannot exec: No such file or directory
tar (grandchild): Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar: C\:\\Users\\me\\backup.tar.gz: Cannot write: Broken pipe

Has anyone run into this? Suggestions? Thank you,

Matt
