Today I got botan2 cross compiling for x86-64 Windows (from Linux x86-64).

Why? Because I want to cross compile keepassxc and this is getting in my way.

Why do I want to cross compile keepassxc? Because I want to use that code in the signet client to import keepass v4 databases

And I want my (Linux based) CI to be able to continue to crank out windows builds. That's why.

After Botan, I'm going after argon2, and then others.

Oh and I had to build my own compiler because mxe repos are way old. So I'll probably be hitting up their mailing list to find out if someone has the ./debian directory that produced that .deb file so I can give them an updated build. If nothing else, I'd like to at least built it and put it in my own apt repo.

Yeah, I'm way down the rabbit hole on this one. And if I manage to dig myself out, I'm going to do it all over again for i686!
