Back when @chrox first made it work for Windows what he did was simply to disable every lib that had an issue like that unless it was absolutely vital to basic functionality.

But in any case it should presumably be more of a (boring!) time investment issue than something actually difficult.
If this is actually easy even for "coding donkeys" like me, I don't mind giving it a try, but I would need some pointers, as I have never cross-compiled anything.
If this route is too time consuming, would something like adding the ability to read from and write to sdr folders in order to highlight files (ideally not just pdfs, but epubs as well) to the calibre reader (or any other reader available for windows for that matter, like mupdf) be less difficult to implement?
