Re: Building headless Bitcoin and Bitcoin-qt on Windows

I installed Bash for Windows 10 and I'm able to build bitcoind, bitcoin-cli and bitcoin-xt binaries that can only run on the same Bash for Windows environment.   But, I could not figure out how to build executables that could run on Windows.  

I followed the instructions on the below document that tells you how to build Windows executables via cross-compilation in Ubuntu but, after the build was completed I got no .exe files (at least I couldn't find them).  
https://github.com/kryptohash/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/build-windows.md

Has anybody been successful with this cross-compiling method?   By the way, I do not want to hijack this old thread full of great info. Let me know if I should create a new thread instead.

Thanks
