Honestly that's a good thing, or your program just fundamentally couldn't possibly ever work on native Windows!

Or mainframe OSes.

Not my area. Does compiling happen on mainframes these days?

For sure, IBM i, z/OS, and Unisys ClearPath have kept their own programming languages, in addition to Java, C and C++, both on their native environments as well as POSIX application layer.

Modern mainframe development environments are browser based.

Not possibly working on Windows is, for some of us, a feature. I have no wish to support that ecosystem due to the past ethical violations that founded it, and making it impossible to do so would avoid having to deal with it.
