x8664w64mingw32static
x8664w64mingw32static refers to a specific build target for the MinGW-w64 cross-compiler toolchain. MinGW-w64 is a development environment that allows users to compile Windows applications on non-Windows operating systems, primarily Linux. The 'x8664' part indicates that the target architecture is 64-bit x86, also known as AMD64 or Intel 64. 'w64' is a common abbreviation for Windows 64-bit. 'mingw32' is a remnant of the original MinGW project which targeted 32-bit Windows, but in the context of MinGW-w64, it signifies a Windows target. The 'static' suffix signifies that this particular build configuration is intended for creating statically linked executables.
Static linking means that all the necessary library code is embedded directly into the final executable file
