thank you so much, but now i try to install mingw from aur, i cloned mingw-w64-llvm, but i was need to install dependency for mingw-w64-llvm. and i install it, but except the mingw-w64-cmake. because for mingw-w64-cmake i need to install mingw-w64-pkg-config. and i have some problems with mingw-w64-pkg-config, because to install mingw-w64-pkg-config i need to install mingw-w64-crt. because https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/any/mingw-w64-crt/ dont have link to git repo, only link to https://www.mingw-w64.org/, - its a mingw site. and links on mingw site in https://www.mingw-w64.org/downloads/ direct me on aur :/ maybe i'm doing something wrong?

You could try enabling Arch repos and installing their mingw packages. I've never used it but I assume it should work fine.
