Hi @selvamkc83, thanks for opening the issue 🙏

@selvamkc83 fighting the same thing under memgraph/rsmgclient#55 (CI file for building under msys2/mingw).

In general, mgclient is buildable under [MSVC and MinGW](https://github.com/memgraph/mgclient?tab=readme-ov-file#building-and-installing-on-windows, under Github Actions done HERE), but there are many things that might go wrong:

• is everything installed property (compiler, cmake, openssl)
• where is OpenSSL installed -> e.g. under Github Actions, MSYS2 installed openssl under D:\a\_temp\msys64 (mentioned under https://github.com/msys2/setup-msys2?tab=readme-ov-file#msys2-location, I think that "recently" changed)
• what's the linked, seems like under rsmgclient, cmake somehow is using 32bit linker (that's my recent hypothesis)?

As soon as I figure out under memgraph/rsmgclient#55 I'll try to get back here 😄
