Having trouble getting project to compile and output in expected behavior

Hi there, super excited to be able to use yet another Jetbrains product.  I've been working on an open source project on and off for a while now, and would love to be able to do all my future work with it in CLion.  However, I'm having a lot of trouble getting the project to build in the expected manner as well as having trouble getting the desired outputs.

The project in question: https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA
Expected Behavior:
* Build with external libraries statically linked
* Copy loose files (data folder) to output directory
What is happening:
* Libraries aren't getting statically linked
* data directory doesn't get copied to the output directory

Because there are so many different developers who've worked on this, and very few of them being Windows users, the support for compiling under Windows (using Mingw) is limited. It was only recently that someone overhauled the cmake support on the project.

Is there anyone who could possible assist me in getting the cmake workflow corrected so that the project builds as desired in cmake?

Other information:
Using MSYS2 with MinGW32. (I'm using the cmake from this environment)
I have lua and sdl2 flags turned on.

Thanks,
Justin
