CMake generating MSYS instead of MinGW Makefiles when building glfw (0.44.0) for rust

I have MinGWx64 installed on windows (as I'm more familiar with GCC) and rustup set up almost perfectly with the stable-x86_64-pc-windows-gnu toolchain set as default. It hasn't failed in anything until now, that I tried to build glfw version 0.44.0. I checked the rust analyzer server logs for any issues and came across this :

[ERROR rust_analyzer::lsp_utils] rust-analyzer failed to run build scripts

error: failed to run custom build command for `glfw-sys v3.3.5`

Caused by:
  process didn't exit successfully: `c:\Users\Rodrigo\Desktop\lel\test\target\debug\build\glfw-sys-738132ac5372cba1\build-script-build` (exit code: 101)

I read it carefully, and noticed something that I thought it was going to be it. For some reason, as in here:

running: "cmake" "C:\\Users\\Rodrigo\\.cargo\\registry\\src\\github.com-1ecc6299db9ec823\\glfw-sys-3.3.5\\." "-G" "MSYS Makefiles" "-DGLFW_BUILD_EXAMPLES=OFF" "-DGLFW_BUILD_TESTS=OFF" "-DGLFW_BUILD_DOCS=OFF" "-DCMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR=lib" "-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=c:\\Users\\Rodrigo\\Desktop\\lel\\test\\target\\debug\\build\\glfw-sys-18f492c6bd01a2d2\\out" "-DCMAKE_C_FLAGS= -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections -m64" "-DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS= -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections -m64" "-DCMAKE_ASM_FLAGS= -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections -m64" "-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug"

It is generating MSYS Makefiles instead of MinGW Makefiles.

I don't know if this depends on some local config or on the glfw package's own build files. Either way, if anyone has any other explanation to why does this happen or whatever advice to help me fix it it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

EDIT : (To clarify, I don't even have MSVC nor Visual Studio installed, just MinGWx64 and VSCode for now)

Did you solve this?
