To compile Lxi Tools windows exexcutabe MSY2 build is used. In msys2_scripts folder are all scripts needed to compile and pack software correctly.

Easiest way is to use Linux/WSL2 docker to build complete image. Docker script uses official MSYS2 docker image from:

msys2-docker

git submodule update --init

sh docker/docker_command.sh

sh msys2_scripts/msys2-lxi-tools-full.sh

Docker or MSYS2 enviroment will generate lxi-tools.exe installer.
