CrossCompilation On Demand

This is for Local Offline Wifi or LAN only. This is for Local Offline Wifi or LAN only. This is for Local Offline Wifi or LAN only.

The Web App will reply any valid *.nim plain text source code file with CrossCompiled stripped native binary executables for Linux and Windows, including the SHA1 CheckSums directly on the browser (it compiles, does not run).

No extra hardening security features are in place for this feature, because the Web App is designed to be used on Local Offline Wifi or LAN, on Hackathons, HackLabs, Meetups, Workshops, and IRL Events, check firejails or docker for this, disable if you expect malware code.

Requisites

Linux -> Windows CrossCompile, this allows to generate a *.EXE for Windows on Linux.

On Linux install all this packages:

mingw-w64-binutils mingw-w64-crt mingw-w64-gcc mingw-w64-headers mingw-w64-winpthreads mingw-w64-gcc-base mingw-w64-*

Usually only installing mingw-w64-gcc gets all the rest as dependency.

Names are from ArchLinux AUR, should be similar on other Distros.

Requires NodeJS installed, for JavaScript Compilation.

If you have problems running the Compilation because of your Distro using too old packages (Debian old stable, etc), then use a Docker with Arch Linux and run the app inside of the Docker.

If you know how to Dockerize the App, Pull Requests are welcome.
