Error when building as separate library

[chaarirami]

Building the sdk as a separate library is not possible as there are some errors happening. This is the output when building the sdk:

C:\Users\Admin\CMAKE_PACKAGES\aws-iot-sdk\crt\aws-crt-cpp\crt\aws-c-common\source\windows\thread.c: At top level:

OS: Windows 11
GCC Toolchain: MinGW-64
I used the following script to download and install the sdk:

if not exist "C:/Users/Admin/CMAKE_PACKAGES/aws-iot-sdk/" (
echo C:/Users/Admin/CMAKE_PACKAGES/aws-iot-sdk/
 mkdir "C:/Users/Admin/CMAKE_PACKAGES/aws-iot-sdk/"
 cd "C:/Users/Admin/CMAKE_PACKAGES/aws-iot-sdk/"
 git clone --recursive https://github.com/aws/aws-iot-device-sdk-cpp-v2.git .
 mkdir build
 cd build
 cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="C:/Users/Admin/CMAKE_PACKAGES/aws-iot-sdk/" -G "MinGW Makefiles" ..
 cmake --build . --target install
)  else (echo "Aws iot sdk is already installed." )

Could you please tell me what is causing this error? Any help would be appreciated.

We don't currently support building this sdk with MinGW-64. Our minimum requirements and instructions for how to build on windows are listed on our readme:

Minimum Requirements
C++ 11 or higher
Clang 3.9+ or GCC 4.8+ or MSVC 2015+
CMake 3.1+

Windows

# Create a workspace directory to hold all the SDK files
mkdir sdk-workspace
cd sdk-cpp-workspace
# Clone the repository
git clone --recursive https://github.com/aws/aws-iot-device-sdk-cpp-v2.git
# Ensure all submodules are properly updated
cd aws-iot-device-sdk-cpp-v2
git submodule update --init --recursive
cd ..
# Make a build directory for the SDK. Can use any name.
# If working with multiple SDKs, using a SDK-specific name is helpful.
mkdir aws-iot-device-sdk-cpp-v2-build
cd aws-iot-device-sdk-cpp-v2-build
# Generate the SDK build files.
# -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX needs to be the absolute/full path to the directory.
#     (Example: "C:/users/example/sdk-workspace/).
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="<absolute path sdk-cpp-workspace dir>" ../aws-iot-device-sdk-cpp-v2
# Build and install the library. Once installed, you can develop with the SDK and run the samples
# -config can be "Release", "RelWithDebInfo", or "Debug"
cmake --build . --target install --config "Debug"
