I have a Linux machine, and don’t have a Windows machine, yet I want to compile my gtk-rs program to create a Windows executable file. I also want to able to run it on Windows 7, if possible.
The best I’ve found is this 5-year-old docker image which I didn’t test, does it still work? (There would be some “difficulties” in testing it, so I would like a confirmation that still up-to-date before I test it)
OS: Pop!_OS 24.04 (essentially Ubuntu 24.04 with newer kernel).
The error I get:
