Most developers use cross-compilation from Ubuntu to build executables for
Windows. This is also used to build the release binaries.
Currently only building on Ubuntu Trusty 14.04 is supported.
Other versions are unsupported or known to be broken (e.g. Ubuntu Xenial 16.04).
While there are potentially a number of ways to build on Windows (for example using msys / mingw-w64),
using the Windows Subsystem For Linux is the most straightforward. If you are building with
another method, please contribute the instructions here for others who are running versions
