On Linux, I have cross-compiled Minetest for Windows.
On Windows, when I run this version of Minetest, I got a crash:
This is what my debugger says:
Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

This backtrace is not clear to me but maybe there is a problem about irrlicht and fonts, isn't it?
Hopefully, on Windows, the official binaries of Minetest work well.
I had the idea to remove one by one the DLLs of this official working version of Minetest letting Windows using my DLLs that I have cross-compiled on Linux for Windows in order to see if one of my DLLs could be the reason of the crash.
In fact, I try to reproduce the crash with the official Minetest binary and my DLLs.
I was able to remove progressively all the DLLs of the "bin" directory but freetype6.dll, libleveldb.dll, libstdc++-6.dll and zlibwapi.dll.
Indeed, I can't remove freetype6.dll because mine is named libfreetype-6.dll and so freetype6.dll is not found:
Also, I can't remove libleveldb.dll because it is a library that I was not able to cross-compile so I don't have it and if I remove it, libleveldb.dll is not found:
If I can't remove libstdc++-6.dll, it is because I get this error:
And if I can't remove zlibwapi.dll, it is because I get this error:
So, I was not able to test all my DLLs but a lot of them.
An interesting thing, is that now that I am using my DLLs, I can see this output while I am running the official Minetest binary:
Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Did you compile without the BMP loader?
I have probably forgot an option when I cross-compiled irrlicht.
Anyway, do you see why my cross-compiled version of Minetest crashes on Windows?
Thank you.
Best regards.
