It would be helpful having a .zip with all the binaries that are needed in Windows.

Amazing library by the way.

I am not that familiar with mingw, but I managed to install msys2 and mingw-w64-x86_64-libxlsxwriter. So I got: libxlsxwriter.dll.

Outside of mingw, I am creating a binary. When I run it I get:

λ myfile.exe
could not load: libxlsxwriter.dll
(bad format; library may be wrong architecture)

But I think I am in the right architecture. In msys2:

$ file myfile.exe
sar.exe: PE32 executable (console) Intel 80386, for MS Windows
$ file libxlsxwriter.dll
libxlsxwriter.dll: PE32 executable (DLL) (console) Intel 80386 (stripped to external PDB), for MS Windows

That is a good suggestion but I don't want to get involved with compiling and distributing DLLs.

Maybe one of the Windows dev experts on here could create a repo for them and update them for each release.

But it is a pass from me. Closing.

I compile Windows binaries every 5-10 releases. You can download it here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/libxlsxwriter/
