We should be clear that no current Ardour developers actually build on
Windows at all. All our Windows builds are created by cross-compiling on
Linux using mingw.

Others may have more specific guidance. We do make all of our build scripts
available via git, but our general rule is that we do not provide build
support because it has generally been a waste of our already limited
resources.
