[boring-sys] Failed to cross-compile from Linux to Windows

[avently]

Hello. Trying to build an app with boring-sys for Windows using x86_64-pc-windows-gnu target from Manjaro (based on Archlinux). I have mingw packages installed (mingw-w64-gcc, mingw-w64-binutils, mingw-w64-crt, mingw-w64-headers, mingw-w64-winpthreads). Tried with rust stable (rustc 1.60.0) and nightly. Result is the same.

I don't know what I can do here from my side in order to successfully build the app. Could you please suggest my next steps?

cargo build --release --target x86_64-pc-windows-gnu

For reproducing you can build your lib using project cross: cross build --release --target x86_64-pc-windows-gnu

Same problem with other targets. This situation actually stops from using boring-sys as well as libraries that depends on it. I would really appretiate if you find a time for making more main targets supported like linux arm64 (+arm), windows (+arm64). Because the one possible lib that gives enough functionality is BoringSSL.

This is logs for aarch64-unknown-linux-musl target:
