Help to build for windows with mingw

[MokonaNico]

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to build Cardinal for Windows using MinGW on a Fedora 40. I'm following the guide provided for cross-compiling to Windows. However, I'm encountering an issue when trying to compile the plugins.cpp file.

Here's the relevant part of the error log:

Has anyone encountered a similar issue when cross-compiling with MinGW?

Thank you in advance!

Just want to second this issue. Going to try to do some digging though.

First issue is likely due to default flags enabling some SSE features where cardinal expects none, and 2nd issue is an actual build problem (far and near being compiler macros from windows headers that need to be undefined before use)
