Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I prefer to build applications in Linux Docker containers for maximum automation, reproducibility, and build portability. That said, I still need to be able to build applications for Windows and Mac and I have since done that by cross compiling the application using MingW for windows and OSX Cross for Mac. Without being able to cross compile from Linux, you have to use a CI service that provides all three operating systems. While these exist, and they are free for Open Source projects, I prefer to be able to host these builds myself when necessary and the most cost effective and simple way to do that is by cross compiling from Linux.
Describe the solution you'd like
I would like to work out the required build steps and tools necessary to cross-compile for Windows and Mac from Linux.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Going with GitHub Actions for automated builds is definitely a decent option, but again, I prefer to be able to produce these same builds on my local machine and using Linux Docker containers is the most productive way to do that.
Additional context
If we get this working I am going to be building my Tauri application with Drone and could easily derive a template build that could be used for other's Tauri applications, allowing people to build for all three platforms using only Linux servers on either the public Drone cloud, or their own build farm.
