##### Cross-compile from Linux
|
||||
|
||||
This is the preferred method (and the way the release is built).
|
||||
|
||||
From _Debian_, install _mingw_:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
sudo apt install mingw-w64 mingw-w64-tools
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
You also need the JDK to build the server:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
sudo apt install openjdk-8-jdk
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Then generate the releases:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
make -f Makefile.CrossWindows
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
It will generate win32 and win64 releases into `dist/`.

##### In MSYS2
|
||||
|
||||
From Windows, you need [MSYS2] to build the project. From an MSYS2 terminal,
|

install the required packages:
