It has been updated to the latest version.

MINGW64 ~
$ cmake-gui –version
cmake version 3.21.1
CMake suite maintained and supported by Kitware (kitware.com/cmake).

But still error as below:

$ cmake-gui
C:/msys64/mingw64/bin/cmake-gui.exe: error while loading shared libraries: zlib1.dll: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Finally found that the installation of qt5 can be solved

pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-qt5
