Request for documentation instruction for windows

[shaddysignal]

Describe the bug Not really a bug. When building Godot with GodotSteam and GodotSteamMultplayerPeer modules as described here may result in problems when you plan to do cross-compile. The problem is similar to this.

I compiled as recommened on godot build page, then when I wanted to export to windows, I compiled templates for windows the same way. After the export, game simply crashes silently at SteamUser()->GetSteamID() during steamInitEx.

The problem exist only for windows, building with mingw on linux does not produce the same behavior.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Compile Godot with modules with mingw
2. Create empty scene and global steam init script
3. Run project
4. See the crash

Expected behavior Feel the note in documentation is warranted about compiler used so those cases will be quicker to resolve. I guess issue existing can help when looking for solution.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Arch Linux 6.11.4-arch1-1 / Windows 10

Version of Godot: 4.3-stable

Version of GodotSteam: Latest from godot4(godotsteam) and main(godotsteam_multiplayer_peer) branches

Solution When recompiling templates with msvc toolchain, everything works fine on windows after export.
