Show HN: Automatically assemble Windows Sysroots directly from Microsoft winsysroot is a tool which automatically and efficiently creates what is effectively a "sysroot" for Windows targets, allowing you to (cross)-compile against native Microsoft sources from any operating system and for any architecture supported by Microsoft. It also takes care of the case-sensitivity problem of the Windows SDK by automatically generating LLVM overlay specifications. It is written in pure cross-platform Go and is extremely fast it tries very hard to download the absolute minimum number of files to achive its goals. It pulls all data directly from Microsoft to avoid any legal issues (but you aren't allowed to distribute the resulting sysroots without explicit permission by Microsoft). https://bit.ly/46nFAqY June 24, 2023 at 01:25PM
