aws sdk c++ doesn't compile with mingw in windows

[niusha71]

I want to compile aws sdk c++ with mingw in windows to use it in qt project. I've error in cmake for it's thirdparty. I've searched for this problem and I found that I have to use previous aws commit which dose not have thirdparty and change some file like link. now I can cmake it with mingw by [cmake .. -G "MinGW Makefiles" -DBUILD_ONLY="s3"] but when I want to [make ] it have some errors.

What are you running the sdk on?
windows

Hi @niusha71 ,
I'm sorry for the long time this took to respond, the thing is this is kind of tricky for me to test, but after some tries and time spent on google, I think my only suggestion is...
try mingw32-make instead of make and make sure you're running from the cmd.

Again, sorry for the long time this took to respond and probably not the best answer, truth is the sdk does not "support" mingw so that complicates things, but it should still be compatible.

@niusha71 Just hit this myself, if you use curl instead then the compilation can be made to succeed. Set -DENABLE_CURL_CLIENT=ON when running cmake.
