I want to build windows program on Linux machine. I added TargetFormat.Exe and tried to run packageExe task. Project new and just created. I got output [thread].

When i inspect build folder there is no .exe files. What means SKIPPED ? Nothing builds? May i somehow build exe on linux? Why i got no errors?

As far as I know cross-building for different platforms is not supported.

@Michael Paus Cross-building for non-linux platforms is never supported (common to all tools), building for Linux can be done from all platforms

[alexey.tsvetkov]

We don’t support any cross-building

Actually that feature not needed, because this is not difficult - setup Windows docker on ci. But i thought that may be possible. It's better to ask
