Compile minimap2 for Windows
Tested on manjaro with minimap-2.24 and debian with minimap-2.26
On arch-like linux:
sudo pacman -Su mingw-w64
yay -S mingw-w64-zlib
On debian-like linux
sudo apt update
sudo apt install make mingw-w64 libz-mingw-w64-dev
Download and extract minimap2 zip file from the repository
In a terminal, go to minimap2 source folder.
Launch:
make CC=x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc CXX=x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++ AR=x86_64-w64-mingw32-ar CFLAGS="-g -Wall -O2 -Wc++-compat -static"
Copy minimap2.exe file in a folder. It is a static executable, there is no need to copy dependencies.
On Linux systems, minimap2.exe can be tested with wine (Minimap2 2.24 was successfully tested with wine-7.0-rc2 - Staging release).

We use MSYS2 to do that.
Download MSYS2 and install it.
Run MSYS2 executable. It may take a while. Upgrade the system:
pacman -Syu
If needed, close MSYS2, run it again from Start menu. Update the rest with:
pacman -Su
With pacman, install gcc, make, base-devel, zlib and zlib-devel:
pacman -S gcc make base-devel zlib zlib-devel
Check if ad.exe (and other files present in the usr/x86_64-pc-msys/bin folder inside the msys install folder) are also present in usr/bin. Else copy them (and rename ld.bfd.exe ld.exe inside the usr/bin folder). This problem occurs on fat system. NTFS should not cause it.
Download and extract minimap2 zip file from the repository
Start MSYS2 console, go to minimap2 source folder.
Launch:
make
Copy minimap2.exe file in a folder. Copy in the same folder msys-2.0.dll and msys-z.dll files from the usr/bin folder of the MSYS2 install folder.
That's right! Always keep minimap2.exe in the same folder as the dll files.
