CMake : the c compiler is not able to compile a simple test program. it fails with the following output

Question

I'm trying to build fluidsynth-2.1.1 in my windows 64 bit system using CMake and MinGw but the below error is encountered:

The C compiler identification is unknown
Check for working C compiler: C:/Program Files (x86)/CodeBlocks/MinGW/bin/gcc.exe
Check for working C compiler: C:/Program Files (x86)/CodeBlocks/MinGW/bin/gcc.exe - broken
CMake Error at C:/Program Files/CMake/share/cmake-3.17/Modules/CMakeTestCCompiler.cmake:60 (message):
  The C compiler

    "C:/Program Files (x86)/CodeBlocks/MinGW/bin/gcc.exe"

  is not able to compile a simple test program.

  It fails with the following output:

please help me find where this is going wrong.

I also disabled my antivirus

Can you check the log files (mentioned on the last two lines) if there's more information? You could also try to use that GCC to compile your own Hello World test program to see if it works outside of CMake. — David Macek, May 07 '20 at 19:42
