> This new crate is a generator. If this new generator requires access to the .winmd files or .h files from the SDK or whatever, where is the non-Windows builder going to get those from? And will this generator look for them there? From memory (I haven't done Windows development in forever): there's a few projects that try to provide an open source version of the Windows API headers. The MingW project, for example, has a full set of drop-in replacement headers (meaning you can take code that compiled with Visual C++ and compile it directly with MingW's GCC and it should 'just work'). The LCC-Win64 project has a similar set of headers. Does that answer your question?
