# Cross-compile ScanTailor Advanced to Windows .exe from Linux using MXE.
#
# Prerequisites:
#   1. Install MXE (M Cross Environment): https://mxe.cc/
#   2. Build the required packages (one-time, can take 1–2 hours):
#      cd /path/to/mxe
#      make MXE_TARGETS=x86_64-w64-mingw32.static \
#        qt5 jpeg libpng tiff zlib boost
#
# Usage:
#   MXE_DIR=/path/to/mxe ./build-windows.sh
#   ./build-windows.sh                    # uses MXE_DIR or ~/mxe or /opt/mxe
#   ./build-windows.sh shared             # use .shared target (exe + DLLs)
#
# Output: build-win-static/scantailor-advanced.exe (default), or build-win-shared/ for shared (exe + DLLs)
