Most developers use cross-compilation from Ubuntu to build executables for Windows. This is also used to build the release binaries. +Currently only building on Ubuntu Trusty 14.04 is supported. +Other versions are unsupported or known to be broken (e.g. Ubuntu Xenial 16.04). + While there are potentially a number of ways to build on Windows (for example using msys / mingw-w64), using the Windows Subsystem For Linux is the most straightforward. If you are building with another method, please contribute the instructions here for others who are running versions -- cgit v1.2.3
