Unable to build aws-sdk-cpp when using MinGW

[finnlee87]

I want to build sdk only s3 and transfer with MinGW. My build cmd as below:

 cmake -G "MinGW Makefiles"  ../aws-sdk-cpp -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DBUILD_ONLY="s3;transfer" -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="aws-cpp-sdk-all"

But I tried many times. It stopped by errors like

Hello @finnlee87,

Can you share some more information about on what system you are building and steps to build the SDK.
And we strongly recommend to use GCC compiler.If you can try with that.
