When I try to build cpprestsdk (https://github.com/Microsoft/cpprestsdk) in MSYS2 I get a very long list of errors. Here my enviroment:
$ cmake -G "MSYS Makefiles" .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release

The output is very long. These are only the first errors. What's happening here?
The official position of the developers of cpprestsdk is the following:
https://github.com/Microsoft/cpprestsdk/issues/202
We don't officially support mingw on Windows; if you're able to get this to work please post back with your results.
Right now the output of the make command contains 264 errors, most of them are:
I guess fix them will require to deeply edit the code.
