 Unlike the Android and Apple clients, the Windows and Linux clients use the Electron framework, rather than Cordova.
 
-You will need [Docker](https://www.docker.com/) installed to build the Electron clients.

-## Windows
+## Cross-Compiling
 
-To build for Windows on a macOS or Linux, you need to first install [MinGW-w64](https://www.mingw-w64.org/) v11.0.1+.
+To build the app for a platform target on a different host target, you will need a cross-compiler. We use [zig to cross-compile with cgo](https://dev.to/kristoff/zig-makes-go-cross-compilation-just-work-29ho).
 
-With [MacPorts](https://www.mingw-w64.org/downloads/#macports) (official channel):
-
-```sh
-sudo port install x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc @11.0.1
-```
+[Install zig](https://ziglang.org/learn/getting-started/#installing-zig) and make sure it's in the PATH.
 
-With Homebrew (unofficial, how to ensure consistent version?):
+You can download the binary tarball, or use a package manager, like Homebrew:
 
 ```sh
-brew install mingw-w64
+brew install zig 
 ```
 
-On Ubuntu:
-
-```sh
-apt update && apt install -y gcc-mingw-w64-x86-64
-```
+## Release
 
 To build the _release_ version of Windows installer, you'll also need:
 
 - [Java 8+ Runtime](https://www.java.com/en/download/). This is required for the cross-platform Windows executable signing tool [Jsign](https://ebourg.github.io/jsign/). If you don't need to sign the executables, feel free to skip this.
 
-## Linux
-
-To build for Linux on a macOS, you need to first install the [musl-cross compiler](https://github.com/GregorR/musl-cross).
-You can do that with a [Homebrew formula](https://github.com/FiloSottile/homebrew-musl-cross):
-
-```sh
-brew install filosottile/musl-cross/musl-cross
-```
