That works for linux as generally u can do everything u need through the terminal. Have you ever built a cryptowallet on windows?? it really is not a simple process and similar on mac.

I used to make builds for windows and mac as part of the linux build as you can cross compile but it has been many years since I did this but details are here
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/build-windows.mdI would STRONGLY recommend that these binaries are released as well otherwise it will have a negative impact on the dvc network.

I tried to build binaries for the devcoin wallet using the instructions provided by Fuzzybear, but I failed miserably. I followed the same instructions to compile the bitcoin wallet using the current master branch (v0.20.99.0-a79bca2f1) and it was pretty straight forward.
The problem I faced trying to compile the devcoin wallet was that it seems there's no "instructions" to tell the compiler how to build the windows binary. I mean, the instructions guides you step by step until you hit a wall and I suspect it's due to differences in versions. I don't know if it's possible to update the code to the most recent version or if there's already a branch in the repository addressing that, but unfortunately I got to the point I can't advance more in that regard because that exceeds my knowledge in that matter. I suspect that something similar is happening with the mac versions but it's only a hunch. However, if that could be solved in some way, I think it is possible that I could build a windows binary, although, I need to learn how to wrap it all in a single installer first, of course.
Anyway, that was a fast briefing of my findings trying to build a devcoin wallet on windows.
Cheers!
