GCC still required?

[mandolyte]

The readme indicates that I do not need to have gcc installed, but:
$ go get github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3

github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3

exec: "gcc": executable file not found in %PATH%
$ go install github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3

github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3

exec: "gcc": executable file not found in %PATH%
$ go version
go version go1.6.1 windows/amd64
$

[mattn]

please show me your go env

[mandolyte]

$ go install github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3

github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3

exec: "gcc": executable file not found in %PATH%
$ go env
set GOARCH=amd64
set GOBIN=C:\Users\210019484\Workspace/bin
set GOEXE=.exe
set GOHOSTARCH=amd64
set GOHOSTOS=windows
set GOOS=windows
set GOPATH=C:\Users\210019484\Workspace
set GORACE=

As your go env said, your environment require gcc. If you set environment CC, you may be possible to do you want.

Is it possible to clarify what is to be changed in the CC go env variable in order for this to install? I'm trying to go get this package and it's showing me the same error at the first comment, except i have go 1.5.3

[mattn]

you need to install gcc.

Sorry, my bad.
GCC is already available in MinGW64, i just had to add the directory to the path (MinGW64\bin)
