There are some notes on the ring repo about building ring on Windows.

For Windows targets, “Build Tools for Visual Studio 2022” (or a higher edition of Visual Studio, like Community, Standard, or Enterprise). The “Desktop development with C++” workflow must be installed. Visual Studio 2022 Version 17.5 is supported; earlier versions of Visual Studio may work.

@pichtranst123 were you able to get your build working?

[MirkoDonnarumma]

@pichtranst123 same problem here but on linux, any news?

Closing as stale. OP is/was using x86_64-pc-windows-gnu which requires gcc installed to build ring.

@MirkoDonnarumma please read the error message. You're probably missing a build tool that is required. If you cannot resolve the problem on your own, open a Q&A discussion.
