Install zig

By any means, using default distro package manager, or any other method, install zig. Please, install zig first...

Compile project

CGO_ENABLED=1 \
    GOOS=windows \
    GOARCH=amd64 \
    CC="zig cc -target x86_64-windows" \
    CXX="zig c++ -target x86_64-windows" \
    go build --tags extended -o app-x86_64.exe

After this...

I copied the project with its database and other dependencies in static folder, and other assets folder, and went to a Windows 10 machine. Then I double clicked over the EXE file, and everything worked fine.
