Git mergetool with Meld on Windows

Question

In Linux, my favorite merge tool is Meld, and I\'ve had no problems using or configuring it to work with Git. However, in Windows it has been a different story.

Answer 1

For some reason, in Windows 10 the PATH environmental variable could not be set properly during the installation, so a strange exception is raised saying that it is not able to find some .dll that are under "C:\Program Files (x86)/Meld/bin" directory.

A workaround for me was, execute in git bash:

export PATH=$PATH:"/C/Program Files (x86)/Meld/lib" 

Or add to windows PATH

C:\Program Files (x86)/Meld/bin
