NON-OFFICIAL Windows-builds of MKVtoolnix.

Yikes! I didn't sanitize the files. I shouldn't post at 3AM.
I adjusted the instructions above.

Are you asking if the patches should have already addressed the issue? We are having to make a Windows 7 version of qt6 possible.

What i meant is that what there is at https://github.com/crystalidea/qt6windows7.git is supposed to provide a Windows 7 compatible QT6, and they have provided a supposed 6.8.1 Windows 7 compatible version code.
So, i was just surprised when you said the issue is that there is some code not Windows 7 compatible.

Yes, and I was surprised when I saw how mkvtoolnix behaved when built with the latest patches.
Looking at the code I don't think it necessarily needs to be patched since support for older Windows is still there.
It also seems likely that the problem didn't exhibit to the patch maintainers, though I see someone has made them aware of it with 6.8.0 and it is labeled as a bug.

The use of directwrite and which version is based on testing during building and in our cross-compiling environment it finds support
for the latest version so doesn't use the fallback. So we configure the build for our needs.

According the issue, it seems specific to Windows 8.1, and working properly under Windows 7, also, a fix was just commited.
When you said that mkvtoolnix wasn't working properly, it was under Windows 7 ?
Didn't have time yet to continue testing build...

Tested on Windows 7 and 8.1, it malfunctioned on both.

This open issue is from Windows 7 and shows what I saw on Windows 7.

On Windows 8.1 it was a blank interface, no text.
