I've tried to build OpenConsole.exe using mingw compiler,
but it seems very hard to do that.
OpenConsole.exe depends many Libs and headers mingw compiler
does not have, such as:
winmeta.h
TraceLoggingProvider.h
TraceLoggingActivity.h
gsl/gsl_util
base/numerics/safe_math.h
fmt/compile.h
fmt/xchar.h
etc.
What about going with package attached that downloads binary
from github for now?
