Programming Executable Files for Windows

• There are multiple ways to create an executable file

1. Batch Conversion

• First we create a batch file that has the commands we have to execute in order to run the program.

2. Rust bin file Cross-compilation

• I usually work in MacOS, so if I locally compile my rust code it won’t run in Windows.
• Fortunately, there is a cross-platform support that lets us compile windows executable from MacOS

1) Add cross compile toolchain

brew install mingw-w64

2) add windows OS in the rustup target binary:

rustup target add x86_64-pc-windows-gnu
