## What it is
A CMake-based MinGW-w64 cross-compilation toolchain primarily used to build Windows binaries of the mpv media player. It automates building mpv and its dependencies from source on Linux, WSL, Cygwin, or MSYS2 hosts.

## Use cases
- build mpv for windows from source
- cross-compile windows binaries on linux
- set up a mingw-w64 cross toolchain with cmake
- produce custom mpv windows builds
- build windows media player binaries with ninja and cmake

## When to choose
- you need custom or patched mpv windows builds
- you want to automate building mpv and all its dependencies for windows
- you need a reproducible mingw-w64 cross-compilation environment

## When to avoid
- you just want ready-made mpv windows binaries - download official builds instead
- you need to build windows apps unrelated to mpv without adaptation
- you cannot use linux, WSL, Cygwin, or MSYS2 as a build environment

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: active
- function: build-tool, compiler, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools, cross-platform, windows
- platform: windows, cli, cross-platform
- tags: mingw-w64, cross-compilation, cmake, mpv, windows-binaries, toolchain, build-tool, linux
