I'm trying to run a Cmake project on Visual Studio 2022. When I select "Windows Debug" to run, it can run successfully. But when I selected "Windows Release", an error occurred:
CMake Error at D:/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio/2022/Community/Common7/IDE/CommonExtensions/Microsoft/CMake/CMake/share/cmake-3.25/Modules/CMakeTestCCompiler.cmake:70 (message):
The C compiler "D:/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio/2022/Community/VC/Tools/MSVC/14.35.32215/bin/Hostx64/x64/cl.exe" is not able to compile a simple test program.
It fails with the following output:

CMake will not be able to correctly generate this project.
D:\MinGW64 is a path for g++, but I'm using MSVC.
I think MSVC's cl.exe might incorrectly use GNU's ld.exe.

I tried removing the path of g++ from the environment variable PATH, but it didn't have any effect.
I also tried to modify the CMakeLists.txt file, but I couldn't figure out where the error was.
