I get this error when running the command pnpm tauri build --runner cargo-xwin --target x86_64-pc-windows-msvc

I don't recommend building tauri app inside wsl with msvc target.
It doesn't make sense - wsl used to build gnu programs and msvc is the official compiler of Windows (used outside of wsl)

Do you have specific reason to build inside wsl?

Thank you very much for the answer, I mainly use wsl as my main working environment, although I am a windows user. And to be more precise, windows for games, wsl for work 😅

#

I've already tried to build an app using gnu, but I got the same error as in the screenshot

did you try building it with the --verbose flag to hopefully get more output?
