When install Rust using rustup-init.exe, with x86_64-pc-windows-msvc, helix can run. However, with x86_64-pc-windows-gnu (choose custom install) it always crash (Tested with msvc compiler not installed in the OS).
To reproduce, try the flipper application from https://usehelix.com/getting_started. ( Or attached here: flipper.zip )
Running "rake irb" under folder "D:/dev/flipper/crates/text_transform" got this crash:
It looks like the MSVC version is actually preferred for Rust on Windows, including by Mozilla. It looks like you only need the Visual C++ Build Tools and not Visual Studio itself. AFAICT, any proprietary Windows components aren't bundled and are instead dynamically linked at runtime. I'm certainly not an expert here, but I don't think there are any licensing concerns around using the MSVC compiler.
That said, it's not a bad idea to try to get things working with the GNU compiler. However, unless there are strong concrete concerns with MSVC, I don't think this will be a priority.
