undefined references building clang ast ToolTemplate.cpp

I'm trying to build my first clang AST tool on windows 10. I want develop on visual studio code in c++ - I can live with any compiler that works...

I've looked at the clang documentation , YouTube videos and stack overflow and - I'm still no there?

I finally got the "tools/extra/ToolTemplate.cpp" example to pass the compile by

• Installing visual studio studio community 22022
• installing mysys2 and mingw - using the cmake kit rfom mingw (g++.exe (MinGW.org GCC-8.2.0-3) 8.2.0)
• building using cmake build from studio code

Now I'm failing the build with undefined references such as

    clang::tooling::AtomicChange::AtomicChange(
    clang::NamedDecl::getQualifiedNameAsString
    clang::tooling::ExecutionContext::reportResult
    clang::ast_matchers::MatchFinder::MatchCallback::~MatchCallback()
    llvm::sys::PrintStackTraceOnErrorSignal
    clang::tooling::createExecutorFromCommandLineArgs
    llvm::errs
    llvm::toString[abi:cxx11]
    clang::ast_matchers::MatchFinder::MatchFinder

and more....

There are so many libraries in the binary, and I see no documentation as to which API is is which library. What am I missing (apart from the correct libraries) - cmakd ast looks like a great concept - is it really so hard to get started or did I miss the full tutorial?

The link line is
