Build for Windows 64Bit (Ubuntu 16.04 Tested)

1. Get dependencies

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install \
      build-essential pkg-config libc6-dev m4 g++-multilib \
      autoconf libtool ncurses-dev unzip git python curl \
      zlib1g-dev wget bsdmainutils automake cmake mingw-w64

2. Configure to use POSIX variant

sudo update-alternatives --config x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc
sudo update-alternatives --config x86_64-w64-mingw32-g++

3. Install rust by running following script

curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh
source ~/.cargo/env
rustup install stable-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
rustup install stable-x86_64-pc-windows-gnu
rustup target add x86_64-pc-windows-gnu
echo "[target.x86_64-pc-windows-gnu]" >> ~/.cargo/config
echo "linker = \"/usr/bin/x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc\"" >> ~/.cargo/config
source ~/.cargo/env

4. Compile for windows

# pull
git clone https://github.com/zelcash/zelcash.git
cd zelcash
# Build
./zcutil/build-win.sh -j$(nproc)

This will create zelcashd.exe zelcash-cli.exe and zelcash-tx.exe in src directory.
