[bug] aws-c-common/0.8.2 needed by (aws-sdk-cpp/1.9.234) cannot be cross compiled with mingw (linux => win)

Describe the bug

Compilation produces this error:
/home/developer/.conan2/p/b/aws-cc23dbad29a896/b/src/source/allocator.c:15:14: fatal error: Windows.h: No such file or directory
15 | # include <Windows.h>
| ^~~~~~~~~~~

The filename should be written as all lowercase, because this is how the file is actually named:
#include <windows.h>

Hi @f-scholer

Thanks for your report.

I think this is not a Conan issue, but this seems a bug in the aws-c-common source code (not even the Conan recipe).
The recommendation would be to report this to the upstream library so it is fixed there.

In Conan client there is nothing that we can do, this would be a Conan issue.
On the recipes in ConanCenter, they are there to package the libraries, but not really to solve issues of the libraries, which should be reported and fixed upstream

That is great, then the issue seems solved in the right place, so updating to the latest library version would be the recommended solution.
