I'd like to test and run little tools for Windows, but I myself work only under Linux and found VM emulators very unsuitable for development. Is anybody uses wine+mingw toolchain for Nim cross-compiling and testing still staying in comfort environment (VSCode/Eclipse, git, etc)?

How should I configure Nim projects, add some libraries like wNim etc in a couple of win32 & mingw packages under Debian 9/10?

In my experience a separate windows computer is the best way. VM emulators second. Wine did not work for me.

>https://nim-lang.github.io/Nim/nimc.html#cross-compilation-for-windows I tested this with a glfw application and it works FLAWLESS, I'm impressed how easy is. I wonder if win -> linux is that simple too.
