[creasydude]

i will be so happy if you add pre built windows binaries sir.

Thank you so much for your effort

I tried to set up a Linux docker cross-build with MinGW (with an MXE OpenSSL sysroot), but picoquic/picotls's Windows build path is clearly VS/MSVC-first. The main repo ships a picoquic.sln with multiple .vcxproj projects and VS17 metadata. The MinGW route quickly runs into non-portable assumptions (POSIX-only headers/APIs like arpa/inet.h, /dev/urandom, O_CLOEXEC, posix_memalign, plus some OpenSSL backend quirks). Because of that I couldn't produce a clean MinGW "prebuilt Windows binary" from a Debian container without carrying invasive patches. The most reliable way to provide Windows binaries is to build them on a Windows runner (MSVC) in CI.
