msgfmt missing charset-1.dll

[M0n7y5]

Hi, when i tried to compile it using this command : python .\build.py build -p x64 gtk3 --vs-install-path "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Professional" --win-sdk-ver 10.0.18362.0 --vs-ver 16

I got this error:

Running custom install script 'C:\\gtk-build\\tools\\python.3.7.7\\tools\\python.exe C:\\gtk-build\\tools\\meson-fd6585ecc41e1c731224cac08a3f6ef6f49ab184\\meson.py --internal gettext install --subdir=po --localedir=share/locale --pkgname=glib20'
