Unable to Link C system libs on windows

I have just started learning swift and I am trying to use GLFW but am unable to link it

I am running

swift build -Xswiftc -IC:\glfw-338\include -Xlinker -LC:\glfw-338\lib-vc2022 

and I get a bunch of undefined symbol errors. Some of these symbols seem to be private and are not in the header.

lld-link: error: undefined symbol: __declspec(dllimport) ShowWindow
>>> referenced by glfw3.lib(win32_init.obj):($LN42)
>>> referenced by glfw3.lib(win32_window.obj):($LN39)
>>> referenced by glfw3.lib(win32_window.obj):($LN39)
>>> referenced 6 more times

lld-link: error: undefined symbol: __declspec(dllimport) ToUnicode
>>> referenced by glfw3.lib(win32_init.obj):($LN16)
>>> referenced by glfw3.lib(win32_init.obj):($LN16)
>>> referenced by glfw3.lib(win32_init.obj):($LN42)
>>> referenced 1 more times

I think it is linking to the lib instead of the dll or something like that. How do I fix this?

package.swift

import PackageDescription

let package = Package(
    name: "example",
    targets: [
        .executableTarget(
            name: "example",
            dependencies: ["CGLFW"],
            path: "Sources"
            ),
        .systemLibrary(
            name: "CGLFW",
            path: "External/CGFLW"
        )
    ]
)

module.modulemap

module CGLFW [system] {
    header "shim.h"
    link "glfw3"
    export *
}
