Rust cannot link with `x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc`


I am trying to make a get request to a url with rust and everytime I run this project I get this error, my other rust project work fine. here's my cargo.toml file.

[package]
name = "api_req"
version = "0.1.0"
edition = "2021"

# See more keys and their definitions at https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/manifest.html

[dependencies]
serde = { version = "1.0", features = ["derive"] }
reqwest = { version = "0.11", features = ["json"] }
tokio = { version = "1", features = ["full"]}

this is the output I get when I try to build/run the code.

error: linking with `x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc` failed: exit code: 1
