I have installed MinGW and CMake with MSYS2 UCRT64.
I have repeatedly failed to build a GUI application using several libraries: IUP and NAppGUI.

All the problems are of the type, “undefined reference to XXX” when linking. XXX is a function from system libraries (ex: GdipFree, __imp___argc, _setjmp, __imp_GetThemeFont).
I have tried reinstalling MinGW from scoop and still failed to build. I also tried to build using Ninja instead of Make, and failed too.

Currently trying to finish a project at college, any help is appreciated.

Built and tried to link IUP and NAppGUI example app, but failed. I followed the steps from NAppGUI and IUP tutorial.
