I have a solution for this when i was trying to compile my code in bash shell g++ solution.cpp -o solution it gave an error of this collect2.exe: error: ld returned 116 exit status the issue I faced was there were two g++ bin file in my computer one is ucrt64 folder and one in mingw64

you want to test by which your code is running and use that one or else you can download the code runner extension on vscode it does the job and compiles the c++ file into .exe and then you just run the .exe file simply

but if you want to this in terminal you can always and set an alias of g++ to your bin path g++ file

or you can simply do export PATH=/c/msys64/ucrt64/bin:$PATH

if all this doesnt work then sorry bro :(
