Hi Brian

Mmm, it sound more like you are not updating msys2 properly...

But please attach pkglist_with_s.txt.
pacman -Qs > pkglist_with_s.txt

It looks like msys2 also recommends an update script (update-core) to
workaround the issues with the runtime. [1] Especially note:

"Run update-core. If one of the packages is updated during script run
you MUST restart MSYS2"

After this, please try a clean (read new) build dir and run cmake afresh.

Nick
