Cross compile build error from mac aarch64 to windows x86_64

[tbillington]

Heya, apologies if this isn't the correct repo to open this, still figuring out how the build process works. It could also be in xwin or luau.

When building a binary for x86_64-pc-windows-msvc from aarch64-apple-darwin I get a number of errors that from what I can find online indicate the use of c++ features that the compiler doesn't support/hasn't got enabled. I'm running on Homebrew clang version 17.0.4. Is this something coming from the way luau is being vendored?

I'll take a look! What x86_64-pc-windows-msvc toolchain do you use?

[tbillington]

I was trying with xwin, cargo xwin build --target=x86_64-pc-windows-msvc. Not for any particular reason though
