Trying to build on windows with x86_64-pc-windows-msvc causes 2 errors.
first there is a problem with git_version(). this could be something related to my git installation (github desktop)
and secondly there are Unix io calls which can't be accessed on windows (for obvious reasons).

sadly I don't have any Rust expierence so I can't fix the second error without getting into a completly new language

I don't think this will work on windows at all, sorry. It's meant to be a layer between keepass (backend) and rofi as frontend.

EDIT: While the keepass part could work, rofi (afaik) does not work on windows. Despite that, like you said it has certain unix calls for things like XDG and calling subprocesses, these could be made to support windows. But again, rofi does not work.

No problem, if you want to you could just join the light side, i.e. linux 😄

That's unless you have to play games with invasive kernel anticheats, almost all other games work (sometimes faster even).
