Build error with the C++ connector

[Filip Leze]

dear members

I'm trying to build the C++ connector from source.
CMake seems successful and the build is encountering an error after starting well.

- Windows 10
- MinGW-w64 (not officially supported but still trying :-)
- cmake version 3.21.4
- make version 4.3
- g++ and gcc 11.2.0
- openssl 1.1.1l
boost libraries installed as well

Here is my cmake:

cmake . -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=C:/msys64/home/Filip/MySQL_CONCPP -DWITH_SSL=C:/msys64/mingw64/bin -DWITH_BOOST=C:/msys64/mingw64/bin -DBUILD_STATIC=ON -G "MSYS Makefiles"

Seems working good and here are the last rows returned

That sounds good, so I do make which is building for about 30 seconds and here are the few lines before it stops:

Any idea what can it be or should I just go on visual studio?
Same error if I try BUILD_STATIC=OFF (default setting)

thanks in advance
