Description

How can I change the default dynamic library installation folder (for .dll), it is currently installed in the `mingw64/lib` folder and I would like this library to be in `mingw64/bin `?

```
-GNinja \
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=${MINGW_PREFIX} \
```

Research direction

Start by reviewing the project's CMake installation configuration and how -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=${MINGW_PREFIX} maps library artifacts under MSYS2/MinGW. Confirm the intended .dll destination and whether the current layout is deliberate. Done means documenting or implementing a supported way to install the DLL in mingw64/bin.
