Unable to link GLFW static library

Zig Version

0.14.0-dev.185+c40708a2c

Steps to Reproduce and Observed Behavior

I am trying to use zig as a build system for my c++ project. I want to use the library GLFW. At first I tried to link with a prebuilt GLFW static library from https://www.glfw.org/download, and this worked fine. The prebuilt libglfw3.a was supposedly built with MinGW-w64 (version 13.2.0-win32-dwarf-msvcrt). However, I wanted to have GLFW as a git submodule in my project, and build it myself. I installed a MinGW-w64 version similar to the one used for the prebuilt libglfw3.a; i686-13.2.0-release-win32-dwarf-msvcrt-rt_v11-rev1.7z from https://github.com/niXman/mingw-builds-binaries/releases. Here is my build.zig:

const std = @import("std");

pub fn build(b: *std.Build) void {
    const target = b.standardTargetOptions(.{});
    const optimize = b.standardOptimizeOption(.{});

    const exe = b.addExecutable(.{
        .name = "Minesweeper",
        .target = target,
        .optimize = optimize,
    });
    exe.linkLibCpp();
    exe.addCSourceFiles(.{
        .root = b.path("src"),
        .files = &.{"main.cpp"},
        .flags = &.{"-std=c++20"},
    });

    // Build GLFW as static lib
    const generate_glfw_makefile = b.addSystemCommand(&.{
        "cmake",
        "-G",
        "MinGW Makefiles",
        "-S",
        "deps\\glfw",
    });
    const glfw_build_dir = generate_glfw_makefile.addPrefixedOutputDirectoryArg("-B", "build");
    generate_glfw_makefile.addArgs(&.{
        "-DGLFW_BUILD_DOCS:BOOL=0",
        "-DGLFW_BUILD_TESTS:BOOL=0",
        "-DGLFW_BUILD_EXAMPLES:BOOL=0",
        "-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release",
    });
    const build_glfw = b.addSystemCommand(&.{
        "cmake",
        "--build",
    });
    build_glfw.addDirectoryArg(glfw_build_dir);
    build_glfw.addArg("-j");

    // Link the static library libglfw3.a that will be created by the build_glfw step
    exe.addLibraryPath(glfw_build_dir.path(b, "src"));
    exe.linkSystemLibrary2("gdi32", .{ .preferred_link_mode = .static, .use_pkg_config = .no });
    exe.linkSystemLibrary2("glfw3", .{ .preferred_link_mode = .static, .use_pkg_config = .no });
    exe.addIncludePath(b.path("deps\\glfw\\include"));

    exe.step.dependOn(&build_glfw.step);
    b.installArtifact(exe);
}

main.cpp:

#include "GLFW/glfw3.h"
int main(int argc, char **argv) {
    glfwInit();
    return 0;
}

When I run zig build I get a linker error:

error: lld-link: undefined symbol: glfwInit

When I build with the following g++ command directly in the terminal, I am able to link with the libglfw3.a that I built myself in the zig build system: g++ -I <path/to/glfw/include/dir> main.cpp -L <path/to/dir/containing/libglfw3> -lglfw3 -lgdi32 -o test It is the same main.cpp as above.

Expected Behavior

I expected to be able to link the libglfw3.a that I built myself, seeing as I was able to link it when invoking g++ directly. I was also able to link with the prebuilt libglfw3.a that was built using pretty much the same MinGW-w64 version as I am using, so why is it not working with the one I build myself?
