ISTR the last time I tried to build Pike on Windows was a bit of a disaster. Sadly, there is nothing simple about cross-compilation. It'd be really awesome if the Windows 10 Linux subsystem makes that easier.
windows 10 linux subsystem is the equivalent to wine. it runs native linux binaries (directly from the ubuntu repos) but has no GUI support.
