i'm using mingww64 from the MSYS2 project if that can help...

Does this answer your question? [collect2.exe: error: ld returned 5 exit status](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45077846/collect2-exe-error-ld-returned-5-exit-status) — Kiskae, Oct 19 '20 at 22:24
@Kiskae it indicate how to "posibly" fix the issue if you typed the command manually, but i'm using cmake... — Xephobia, Oct 20 '20 at 08:52
edit : it seem you need to install cmake from msys2 and not from the official site, i installed it by msys2 and it worked, closing this issue — Xephobia, Oct 20 '20 at 09:10
