A reproducibly built LLVM/Clang/LLD based mingw-w64 toolchain for compiling Windows binaries. It provides cross-compilers and native toolchains targeting i686, x86_64, armv7, and arm64 Windows, with prebuilt releases and Docker images.

Use cases

• cross-compile windows binaries from linux
• build windows apps for arm64
• compile c/c++ for windows with clang
• generate pdb debug info with mingw
• use address sanitizer in mingw builds
• single toolchain for all windows architectures

When to choose

• you need to target windows on arm or arm64
• you want one toolchain covering i686, x86_64, armv7, and arm64
• you need pdb debug info or asan/ubsan in a mingw build
• you prefer llvm tooling over gcc-based mingw

When to avoid

• you need gcc-specific extensions or a gcc-compatible toolchain
• you target only one architecture and already have a working gcc mingw setup
• you need msvc-compatible tooling rather than mingw
