It's simply not possible to get Electrum to build the Windows binaries using the build-wine system WITHOUT cloning the git repository first


it doesn't work if you extract the files from the .tar.gz... you will always get the

/opt/wine64/drive_c/electrum /opt/wine64/drive_c/electrum/contrib/build-wine
fatal: not a git repository (or any parent up to mount point /opt/wine64/drive_c)
Stopping at filesystem boundary (GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM not set).
🗯 ERROR: build-electrum-git failed


Can anyone find a workaround to build the windows binaries without cloning from the git repository?
