Task
jq-windows2

jq 1.8.1 is a command-line JSON utility for viewing and transforming JSON. Project link: github.com/jqlang/jq

Task: Compile and install jq to a specific location. Cross-compile to Windows. This task is a variant of jq-windows, without a hint to do a static build.

Difficulties: Cross-compilation to Windows, setting up the cross-compilation toolchain (compilers, etc), making sure that there are no dynamic libraries.

Environment: Ubuntu 22.04 on amd64, with internet access.
