`Linking CXX executable gcd.exe` creates so many errors (Underfined references to logging)

OS: Windows 10 Compiler: gcc (wsl for setup.sh) CMake: cmake.exe (cmake -G "MinGW Makefiles") Make: mingw32-make.exe

Problem: When executting mingw32-make.exe everything appears to be okay until Linking CXX executable gcd.exe:

It's because libs/alpha_tools.a is not found probably because setup.sh/.bat failed to compile the "alpha_tools" lib.

I got the same issues because the building of the utils failed because of some C++ reflection.h lines.

I simply removed the problematic line from reflection.h then restarted the setup.sh script. Now cmake . && make can link to the lib.
