How to generate the CsWinMD binaries locally

[pavan709]

I came across a project that generates a WinRT component using the MinGW compiler. This project internally relies on CsWinMD binaries. I also need to generate these CsWinMD binaries to compile a WinRT component using MinGW.

Here’s an example where a user has successfully built the CsWinMD binaries:

You can find the CsWinMD NuGet package in the same directory as the CsWinRT one. Rename the extension to zip and use any normal ZIP extractor.
