+            ## 🎯 MinGW-w64 Cross-Compilation
+            
+            **Proper Windows .exe Generation**
             
-            **Automatic Environment Detection**
+            This app now uses the **correct method** for generating Windows .exe files from Linux:
+            - **MinGW-w64 toolchain** for cross-compilation
+            - **`--mingw64` flag** in Nuitka
+            - **`--windows-disable-console`** for GUI applications
+            - **Proper cross-compilation setup** as per Nuitka documentation
             
-            This app automatically detects your Python environment and chooses the best compilation strategy:
-            - Uses static libpython if available (maximum portability)
-            - Falls back to highly portable alternatives if not
-            - Automatically handles missing dependencies
-            - Optimized specifically for Hugging Face Spaces environment
+            **Features:**
+            - Real-time compilation logs
+            - Visual progress bar with cross-compilation status
+            - Automatic MinGW-w64 detection
+            - Wine testing support for .exe files
             
             ## 📋 Usage Instructions
             
             ### 1. Write Your Code
             - Enter your Python code in the code editor
-            - Add any Python package requirements in the requirements tab
+            - Add Python package requirements in the requirements tab
+            - For Windows .exe, consider adding `input('Press Enter to exit...')` to prevent console closing
             
-            ### 2. Choose Compilation Mode
-            - **Maximum Compatibility**: Best for most use cases (recommended)
-            - **Portable Binary**: Smaller size, may need Python runtime
-            - **Standalone Binary**: Includes all dependencies (larger)
+            ### 2. Choose Target Platform
+            - **Linux (.bin)**: Native Linux executable (fastest compilation)
+            - **Linux (.sh)**: Shell script format
+            - **Windows (.exe)**: Cross-compiled using MinGW-w64 (proper method)
             
             ### 3. Compile
             - Click "Compile with Nuitka"
-            - Watch the progress bar for compilation status
-            - Wait for the compilation to complete
+            - Watch the real-time logs showing MinGW-w64 usage
+            - Monitor the progress bar for cross-compilation status
             - Download the resulting binary
             
             ### 4. Run Your Binary
             
+            #### For Linux binaries:
             ```bash
             # On Linux (including WSL)
             chmod +x compiled_program.bin
             ./compiled_program.bin
+            ```
             
-            # In WSL, copy to Linux filesystem first
-            cp /mnt/c/Users/username/Downloads/compiled_program.bin ~/
-            cd ~
-            chmod +x compiled_program.bin
-            ./compiled_program.bin
+            #### For Windows executables:
+            ```cmd
+            # Download the .exe file to Windows
+            compiled_program.exe
+            
+            # Or from Windows command prompt:
+            cd Downloads
+            compiled_program.exe
             ```
             
-            ## ⚠️ HF Spaces Limitations
+            #### Testing Windows .exe on Linux:
+            ```bash
+            # If wine is available:
+            wine compiled_program.exe
+            ```
             
-            - **System packages cannot be installed** (no apt-get access)
-            - All required system dependencies must be pre-installed
-            - Compilation happens in a containerized environment
-            - Binary execution may have resource limits
+            ## 🔧 MinGW-w64 Requirements
             
-            ## 📋 Important Requirements
+            **For Windows cross-compilation, the following should be pre-installed:**
+            ```bash
+            # Ubuntu/Debian
+            apt install mingw-w64 gcc-mingw-w64-x86-64 g++-mingw-w64-x86-64
             
-            For this app to work in HF Spaces, ensure your `requirements.txt` includes:
-            ```
-            gradio
-            nuitka
+            # Fedora/RHEL
+            dnf install mingw64-gcc mingw64-g++
             ```
             
-            ## 📊 Compilation Modes Comparison
+            ## ⚠️ Cross-Compilation Notes
+            
+            **Windows .exe from Linux (MinGW-w64 method):**
+            - ✅ Uses proper MinGW-w64 cross-compiler
+            - ✅ Follows official Nuitka documentation
+            - ✅ Produces native Windows executables
+            - ⚠️ Some Python packages may not cross-compile
+            - ⚠️ Windows-specific APIs may need special handling
+            - ✅ Can be tested with wine on Linux
+

-            **How it works:**
+            **Proper Implementation:**
             
-            1. **Environment Detection**: Checks if static libpython is available
-            2. **Adaptive Options**: Uses the best available compilation flags
-            3. **Fallback Strategy**: Ensures compilation succeeds even without static linking
-            4. **Automatic Dependencies**: Resolves missing dependencies automatically
-            5. **HF Spaces Optimization**: Adapted for Hugging Face Spaces environment
-            6. **Real-time Progress**: Shows compilation progress with a visual progress bar
+            1. **MinGW-w64 Toolchain**: Uses the correct cross-compiler for Windows
+            2. **Nuitka Integration**: Proper `--mingw64` flag usage
+            3. **Real-time Monitoring**: Watch MinGW-w64 compilation in real-time
+            4. **Wine Testing**: Optional testing of Windows executables on Linux
+            5. **Automatic Detection**: Checks for required MinGW-w64 components
+            6. **Proper Flags**: Uses `--windows-disable-console` for GUI apps
             
-            This approach maximizes compatibility across different Python environments while working within HF Spaces constraints.

-            3. ✅ Copy binaries to Linux filesystem in WSL
-            4. ✅ Let the app automatically choose the best settings
-            5. ✅ Check the compilation details for specific optimizations used
-            6. ✅ Avoid system packages that require installation
-            7. ✅ Include 'nuitka' in your requirements.txt for HF Spaces
-            8. ✅ Watch the progress bar for compilation status
+            1. ✅ Pure Python packages work best
+            2. ⚠️ Avoid packages with C extensions when cross-compiling
+            3. ⚠️ GUI frameworks may need special handling
+            4. ⚠️ Windows-specific packages won't work in cross-compilation
             
             ## 🔧 Troubleshooting
             
-            **Common Issues:**
+            **MinGW-w64 issues:**
             
-            - **Import errors**: Check that all packages are in requirements.txt
-            - **Binary won't run**: Ensure you're on a compatible Linux system
-            - **Permission denied**: Run `chmod +x filename` before execution
-            - **Missing libraries**: Try "Maximum Compatibility" mode
-            - **Nothing happens on click**: Check that Nuitka is installed in requirements.txt
-            - **Compilation stuck**: Check the progress bar and logs for details
+            - **Missing MinGW-w64**: Install required packages in Docker image
+            - **Cross-compilation fails**: Check package compatibility
+            - **Large .exe files**: Normal for standalone Windows executables
+            - **Runtime errors**: Test with different Nuitka flags
+            - **Wine issues**: Wine testing is optional, real Windows testing preferred
             
-            ## 🚀 Future Improvements
+            ## 🚀 Technical Details
             
-            - Support for more compilation targets
-            - Better error messages and diagnostics
-            - Automatic dependency detection
-            - Cross-platform compilation support
-            - Enhanced progress tracking
+            **MinGW-w64 process:**
+            
+            1. Nuitka converts Python to C code
+            2. MinGW-w64 cross-compiles C to Windows PE format
+            3. Static linking reduces Windows dependencies
+            4. Result is a native Windows executable
+            5. Optional Wine testing for basic validation
+            
+            **Command structure:**
+            ```bash
+            python -m nuitka \\
+              --mingw64 \\
+              --onefile \\
+              --windows-disable-console \\
+              --show-progress \\
+              your_script.py
+            ```
+            
+            This is the **correct and recommended** method for Windows cross-compilation with Nuitka.
