cross-compiling rust from linux to windows
would the windows user need to have mingw-related libraries installed for this to work?

cross-compiling rust from linux to windows
https://stackoverflow.com/a/62853319/4454877I know I have to install a toolchain (or two) to do that, but is there anything else I need to do?
do I have to do anything else (eg. install mingw) to do that?
“you only need rustup, cargo and your distribution's mingw-w64”
would the windows user need to have mingw-related libraries installed for this to work?No, they get statically linked during build.

cargo build
