Great to know.

If later you still want to use mingw, and some recipe in ConanCenter is not building correctly, the best way is to report it to the conan-center-index repo. The community of contributors is doing a fantastic job there.

Hi @memsharded

I have the same error than you, I tried with wsl and it works perfectly. I will try with docker and msvc later. Thanks.
