Description

After a day documentation is still not built for version 0.1.4. In version 0.1.3, there is no documentation for windows and the example in the crate level documentation does not contain the code I added in version 0.1.3.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the Windows cross-compilation failure described in the title, focusing on the C compiler used by the build script. Compare documentation output for versions 0.1.3 and 0.1.4, including the Windows documentation and crate-level example. Done means the build completes for Windows and the expected documentation content is generated.
